Does the stomach ulcer drug Ranitidine work in the same way as Cimetidine? If so what is the difference between the two?
Ranitidine works in exactly the same way as Cimetidine. It is a newer type of H2 receptor antagonist. The only difference is that Ranitidine is only available on prescription for the treatment of IC, and not available across the counter, as is Cimetidine (Tagamet) and it is taken once a day rather than 2 or 3 times a day.
