1. What Zantac 75 Relief is and what it is used for
Zantac 75 Relief is used to treat indigestion and heartburn for up to 12 hours. The stomach produces acid which helps to digest food. Sometimes your stomach produces too much acid which can cause indigestion and heartburn.
The active ingredient is ranitidine hydrochloride which is a medicine called an 'H2-blocker’. It works by preventing your stomach from producing too much acid.
You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 6 days.
