Over-the-counter ranitidine is approved to prevent and relieve heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach. Ranitidine is available in Canada over-the-counter (for example, under the brand name Zantac and as generics) and by prescription (as generics).
When ingested, ranitidine metabolizes into N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) which Health Canada, the FDA, the EPA, and the World Health Organization classify as a probable carcinogen. Zantac contains the active ingredient ranitidine.
