Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

First of all, I would like to know what was the reason for taking the tablet Ranitidine. Secondly, for a few patients, tablet Ranitidine does cause reactions. Did you have vomiting and fever before consuming the medicine?

As of now, do not panic. You need to avoid taking the tablet and keep in mind to inform your doctors beforehand that you are allergic to it from now on.

The reaction that has been caused as a result of the medicine would be reversed once you stop taking it.

Kindly revert in case of further questions.

I would be glad to help you.

Stay healthy and positive.

Take care.
