Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

Rantac -D plus contains:
1. Ranitidine- it reduces acid formation in stomach
2. Domperidone- an anti emetic (prevents sensation of nausea & vomiting)
This medication has to be taken half an hour before meals.

Cinnarizine is an antihistamine preparation, which has been prescribed to take care of the sensation of dizziness.
This medication has to be taken after meals.

Wishing you a Good Health & a speedy recovery.
Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
