Major (1)
- Ranitidine + Miglitol— Miglitol significantly reduced ranitidine bioavailability by approximately 60% in healthy volunteer studies.
Moderate (22)
- Ranitidine + Acalabrutinib— H2-receptor antagonist may decrease acalabrutinib concentrations. Take acalabrutinib 2 hours before ranitidine dosing.
- Ranitidine + Atazanavir— Atazanavir absorption may be impaired based on ranitidine's effect on gastric pH. Use with caution and refer to atazanav…
- Ranitidine + Cyclosporine— May potentiate renal dysfunction when used concomitantly with cyclosporine. Close monitoring of renal function required.
- Ranitidine + Delavirdine— Delavirdine absorption may be impaired with ranitidine due to increased gastric pH. Chronic H2-receptor antagonist use w…
- Ranitidine + Erlotinib— H-2 receptor antagonist decreases erlotinib exposure. Modify dosing schedule; dose increase unlikely to compensate.
- Ranitidine + Erlotinib Hydrochloride— H-2 receptor antagonist that decreases erlotinib exposure by increasing gastric pH. Modify dosing schedule.
- Ranitidine + Flibanserin— Weak CYP3A4 inhibitor; concomitant use of multiple weak inhibitors may increase risk of adverse reactions.
- Ranitidine + Gefitinib— Gefitinib exposure reduced by 44% with ranitidine and sodium bicarbonate coadministration. Use with caution.
- Ranitidine + Glipizide— Glipizide exposure increased by 34% following single 150-mg dose of oral ranitidine in diabetic patients. Use appropriat…
- Ranitidine + Ketoconazole— Oral ketoconazole exposure reduced up to 95% when coadministered with ranitidine regimen maintaining gastric pH above 6.…
- Ranitidine + Lemborexant— Weak CYP3A inhibitor that increases lemborexant AUC and Cmax. Maximum recommended dose of lemborexant is 5 mg when used …
- Ranitidine + Metformin Hydrochloride— Cationic drug eliminated by renal tubular secretion with potential for interaction with metformin by competing for commo…
- Ranitidine + Methylergonovine— Weak CYP 3A4 inhibitor; should be administered with caution.
- Ranitidine + Methylergonovine Maleate— Weak CYP 3A4 inhibitor; should be administered with caution due to potential vasospasm risk.
- Ranitidine + Midazolam— Oral midazolam exposure increased up to 65% with 150 mg ranitidine twice daily. Monitor for excessive or prolonged sedat…
- Ranitidine + Procainamide— Procainamide Ranitidine, a substrate of the renal organic cation transport system, may affect the clearance of other dru…
- Ranitidine + Quinine— Nonspecific CYP450 inhibitor. Preferred over cimetidine when concomitant use necessary. Patients should be monitored for…
- Ranitidine + Quinine Sulfate— Nonspecific CYP450 inhibitor. Preferred over cimetidine when concomitant use is necessary. Patients should be monitored …
- Ranitidine + Risperidone— Ranitidine increases the bioavailability of risperidone by 26% and increases combined AUC of risperidone and 9-hydroxyri…
- Ranitidine + Sucralfate— Sucralfate reduces the bioavailability of ranitidine. Dosing ranitidine 2 hours before sucralfate eliminates the interac…
- Ranitidine + Triazolam— Triazolam exposure increased by approximately 30% with ranitidine coadministration due to altered gastric pH affecting a…
- Ranitidine + Warfarin— Reports of altered prothrombin time during concurrent ranitidine and warfarin therapy. Close monitoring of prothrombin t…
Minor (8)
- Ranitidine + Clonazepam— Agent that decreases stomach acidity; literature suggests it does not greatly alter clonazepam pharmacokinetics.
- Ranitidine + Diltiazem Hydrochloride— Produces smaller, nonsignificant increases in diltiazem levels.
- Ranitidine + Ibandronate Sodium— Co-administration with ranitidine resulted in 20% increased bioavailability of ibandronate, which was not considered cli…
- Ranitidine + Ibuprofen— Co-administration of ranitidine with ibuprofen had no substantive effect on ibuprofen serum concentrations in human volu…
- Ranitidine + Midazolam Hydrochloride— Minimal interaction; slightly increases midazolam steady-state concentration but no clinically significant change in sed…
- Ranitidine + Nifedipine— Produces smaller, non-significant increases in nifedipine levels compared to cimetidine.
- Ranitidine + Nisoldipine— Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily decreases nisoldipine AUC by 15-20% with no clinically significant pharmacodynamic effects…
- Ranitidine + Prasugrel— H2 blocker decreased Cmax of prasugrel active metabolite by 14% but did not change AUC or Tmax.
