About Ranidac O 2mg/25mg Injection

Ranidac O 2mg/25mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, nausea, and vomiting. Acidity/acid reflux is characterised by excess acid levels leading to heartburn. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which the person feels an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is an uncontrollable reflex that expels the contents of the stomach through the mouth.

Ranidac O 2mg/25mg Injection contains Ranitidine (H2 receptor antagonist) and Ondansetron (anti-emetic). Ranitidine works by blocking histamine H2 receptors located on the stomach lining, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. Ondansetron works by inhibiting the action of serotonin, a chemical messenger that triggers nausea and vomiting. 

In some cases, Ranidac O 2mg/25mg Injection may cause side effects such as stomach pain, headache, constipation, irritation and redness at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Limited information is available regarding the usage of Ranidac O 2mg/25mg Injection in children; please consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Acidity: A mucous layer typically protects the stomach from acid. Excess acid production can erode the mucous layer, resulting in complications such as GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers. Some symptoms include heartburn, a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Nausea and vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which the person feels an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is an uncontrollable reflex that expels the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Nausea and vomiting may occur separately or together. The common causes include motion sickness, emotional stress, indigestion, food poisoning, high fever or overeating.
