QA Question:
ZANTAC 150® is an acid reduction product which contains the effective non-prescription strength of ranitidine (150 mg), a commonly used acid reliever.
ZANTAC® tablets provide fast and effective relief of the burning and discomfort of heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach and sour stomach associated with excess acid.
ZANTAC® tablets reduce and control stomach acid for up to 12 HOURS, day or night.
ZANTAC® tablets can also effectively prevent symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion when taken 30 to 60 minutes before eating food and/or drinking beverages that cause heartburn.
ZANTAC® tablets work by reducing the production of excess stomach acid, which causes the burning and discomfort of heartburn and acid indigestion. This is what makes
ZANTAC® different from antacids which only neutralise the acid in your stomach. Antacids do not reduce the production of excess stomach acid.
ZANTAC® tablets provide fast relief, treatment and prevention, day or night, of the following symptoms:
- Heartburn
- Acid Indigestion
- Upset or Sour Stomach
