As a type of H2 blocker, ranitidine hydrochloride (Zantac®) can help to treat conditions related to the stomach, esophagus, and intestines. Specifically, it can help to treat various ulcers, GERD, erosive esophagitis, heartburn, indigestion, and other conditions. This medication is available by prescription as well as over the counter. Although most people tolerate it well, it is not suitable for everyone.
