Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Ranitidine
I was given Ranitidine HGI Friday a week ago, I stopped taking last friday as I developed small spots all over mine body. Earlier in the week I did have a feeling in the stomach, nothing to worry about, and tied eyes. Now I am covered in spots.. I will visit my doctor tomorrow Monday. Barbara

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms you describe may not be side effects of ranitidine as it is a drug that is generally well tolerated. Among its side effects, such dermatological symptoms have not been describe.What you describe sounds like allergy but to a different allergen not ranitidine.I will suggest you take an anti-histamine like loratadine, a steroidal antiinflammatory like prednisolone and bath with anti-septic soap or solution like cyteal.If symptoms persist, you see your Doctor for evaluation.
Hope my answer ill help you
Regards
