(Pharmaceutical)

ZANTAC® 75 Glaxo Wellcome Ranitidine HCl Histamine H2-receptor Antagonist Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Ranitidine is an antagonist of histamine at gastric H2-receptor sites. Thus, ranitidine inhibits both basal gastric secretion and gastric acid secretion induced by histamine, pentagastrin and other secretagogues. Inhibition of gastric acid secretion has been observed following i.v., intraduodenal and oral administration of ranitidine. This response is dose-related, a maximum response being achieved at an oral dose…

Xylocaine (Lidocaine HCl)
