Does Ranitidine Have Any Impact On The Blood Results?

I purchased Ranitidine for heartburn and have kidney disease. According to directions on the label, this is a no no unless authorized by my Doctor. I ve already swallowed 2 of these pills in the last few weeks. Could these pills give me a false reading on my blood work? YYYY@YYYY

Hello.

Ranitidine is a drug used for troubled stomach. Basically to treat gastritis. The duration of a action is too short to affect blood work and you have only taken two doses of the medication. Do not worry. It will not reflect on your blood results.
