Pharmacology: |
Ranitidine is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist similar to cimetidine and famotidine. An H2-receptor antagonist, often shortened to H2 antagonist, is a drug used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells in the stomach, decreasing acid production by these cells. These drugs are used in the treatment of dyspepsia, however their use has wan...

Mechanism of Action: |
The H2 antagonists are competitive inhibitors of histamine at the parietal cell H2 receptor. They suppress the normal secretion of acid by parietal cells and the meal-stimulated secretion of acid. They accomplish this by two mechanisms: histamine released by ECL cells in the stomach is blocked from binding on parietal cell H2 receptors which stimul...

Absorption: | Approximately 50% bioavailability orally. |
Protein binding: | 15% |
Biotransformation: | Hepatic. Ranitidine is metabolized to the N-oxide, S-oxide, and N-desmethyl metabolites, accounting for approximately 4%, 1%, and 1% of the dose, respectively. |
Route of elimination: | The principal route of excretion is the urine (active tubular excretion, renal clearance 410mL/min), with approximately 30% of the orally administered dose collected in the urine as unchanged drug in 24 hours. |
Half Life: | 2.8-3.1 hours |
Clearance: | 29 mL/min [clinically significant renal function impairment] 3 mL/min/Kg [neonatal patients] |
Toxicity: | LD50=77mg/kg (orally in mice). Symptoms of overdose include muscular tremors, vomiting, and rapid respiration. |
Affected organisms: | Humans and other mammals |
