Brief Answer:
You can take both together. No such problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Zantac (ranitidine ) is a drug which is used for gastric acidity problem.
This medication should be given before food.
Usually we can give tylenol or advil for pain even if person is taking zantac.
But you have not mentioned here whether the pain is due to braces or is it abdominal pain.
Kindly confirm whether the pain is due to braces or is abdominal pain so that I can advise you properly which medication to be taken.
Awaiting for your answer.
Thank you.
