Major (1)

  • Ranitidine + MiglitolMiglitol significantly reduced ranitidine bioavailability by approximately 60% in healthy volunteer studies.

Moderate (22)

  • Ranitidine + AcalabrutinibH2-receptor antagonist may decrease acalabrutinib concentrations. Take acalabrutinib 2 hours before ranitidine dosing.
  • Ranitidine + AtazanavirAtazanavir absorption may be impaired based on ranitidine's effect on gastric pH. Use with caution and refer to atazanav
  • Ranitidine + CyclosporineMay potentiate renal dysfunction when used concomitantly with cyclosporine. Close monitoring of renal function required.
  • Ranitidine + DelavirdineDelavirdine absorption may be impaired with ranitidine due to increased gastric pH. Chronic H2-receptor antagonist use w
  • Ranitidine + ErlotinibH-2 receptor antagonist decreases erlotinib exposure. Modify dosing schedule; dose increase unlikely to compensate.
  • Ranitidine + Erlotinib HydrochlorideH-2 receptor antagonist that decreases erlotinib exposure by increasing gastric pH. Modify dosing schedule.
  • Ranitidine + FlibanserinWeak CYP3A4 inhibitor; concomitant use of multiple weak inhibitors may increase risk of adverse reactions.
  • Ranitidine + GefitinibGefitinib exposure reduced by 44% with ranitidine and sodium bicarbonate coadministration. Use with caution.
  • Ranitidine + GlipizideGlipizide exposure increased by 34% following single 150-mg dose of oral ranitidine in diabetic patients. Use appropriat
  • Ranitidine + KetoconazoleOral ketoconazole exposure reduced up to 95% when coadministered with ranitidine regimen maintaining gastric pH above 6.
  • Ranitidine + LemborexantWeak CYP3A inhibitor that increases lemborexant AUC and Cmax. Maximum recommended dose of lemborexant is 5 mg when used
  • Ranitidine + Metformin HydrochlorideCationic drug eliminated by renal tubular secretion with potential for interaction with metformin by competing for commo
  • Ranitidine + MethylergonovineWeak CYP 3A4 inhibitor; should be administered with caution.
  • Ranitidine + Methylergonovine MaleateWeak CYP 3A4 inhibitor; should be administered with caution due to potential vasospasm risk.
  • Ranitidine + MidazolamOral midazolam exposure increased up to 65% with 150 mg ranitidine twice daily. Monitor for excessive or prolonged sedat
  • Ranitidine + ProcainamideProcainamide Ranitidine, a substrate of the renal organic cation transport system, may affect the clearance of other dru
  • Ranitidine + QuinineNonspecific CYP450 inhibitor. Preferred over cimetidine when concomitant use necessary. Patients should be monitored for
  • Ranitidine + Quinine SulfateNonspecific CYP450 inhibitor. Preferred over cimetidine when concomitant use is necessary. Patients should be monitored
  • Ranitidine + RisperidoneRanitidine increases the bioavailability of risperidone by 26% and increases combined AUC of risperidone and 9-hydroxyri
  • Ranitidine + SucralfateSucralfate reduces the bioavailability of ranitidine. Dosing ranitidine 2 hours before sucralfate eliminates the interac
  • Ranitidine + TriazolamTriazolam exposure increased by approximately 30% with ranitidine coadministration due to altered gastric pH affecting a
  • Ranitidine + WarfarinReports of altered prothrombin time during concurrent ranitidine and warfarin therapy. Close monitoring of prothrombin t

Minor (8)

  • Ranitidine + ClonazepamAgent that decreases stomach acidity; literature suggests it does not greatly alter clonazepam pharmacokinetics.
  • Ranitidine + Diltiazem HydrochlorideProduces smaller, nonsignificant increases in diltiazem levels.
  • Ranitidine + Ibandronate SodiumCo-administration with ranitidine resulted in 20% increased bioavailability of ibandronate, which was not considered cli
  • Ranitidine + IbuprofenCo-administration of ranitidine with ibuprofen had no substantive effect on ibuprofen serum concentrations in human volu
  • Ranitidine + Midazolam HydrochlorideMinimal interaction; slightly increases midazolam steady-state concentration but no clinically significant change in sed
  • Ranitidine + NifedipineProduces smaller, non-significant increases in nifedipine levels compared to cimetidine.
  • Ranitidine + NisoldipineRanitidine 150 mg twice daily decreases nisoldipine AUC by 15-20% with no clinically significant pharmacodynamic effects
  • Ranitidine + PrasugrelH2 blocker decreased Cmax of prasugrel active metabolite by 14% but did not change AUC or Tmax.
