Ranitidine 300mg - can pills be separate in half?

I wanted to know if information technology is rubber / effective to split Ranitidine 300mg pills (fabricated by Noumed)? My normal does is ii x 150mg per day - in morning/evening. But equally 150mg is no longer available, doctor has put me on 1 x 300mg per 24-hour interval instead - taken in evenings. Notwithstanding I don't find information technology works as well as the 2 x 150mg. So wondered about splitting the pill and taking one half in morning the other in evening. Thank you for any communication

It'southward non advisable to spit the tablets every bit they are coated and spitting them could effect absorption. Only I propose you ask your chemist for advise on this.

As Phil points out, splitting the tablet may affect assimilation, and also the active ingredient may not be evenly distributed in each tablet. Your chemist might requite some pointers but it'south circuitous.

Thanks for your replies. I actually found out the hard mode by trying to use divide pills and it simply did not work at all well. Bad stomach acrid. Though the surgery pharmacist had suggested it could piece of work! I will now go back to 1 x 300mg per twenty-four hour period and come across how well that goes. I have a few weeks worth of 150mg left equally back upward. But if I cannot live with 300mg ultimately I'll demand to find a dissimilar product unless Ranitidine 150 comes back in supply. All-time regards Ian

I'yard sure your GP would prescribe a standard dose of a PPI and that is much more effective over a 24hour period

Howdy I would say just take the ane tablet at nighttime.

Thanks all. I will try one R300 at night to see if that works any improve. Many years agone I was prescribed a PPI Lansoprazole but I found it did not work well - eg stomach pain. And so GP tried me on Ranitidine which worked much better. Recently due to stock issues in R150 the GP pharmacist suggested if R300 did not work to endeavour next generation PPIs omeprazole.

In Canada Ranitidine has been taken off the market,They take replaced information technology with CIMITIDINE.i Take 2 IN AM

My gp told me ranitidine has now been taken out in UK. I am on lanzoprazol just not sure information technology's equally proficient

Hi all - a quick update. It took me about a calendar week to make the transition from 2xR150 to 1xR300. Now working fine supported by some modest dietary changes and an occasional Rennie in the belatedly afternoon. (The split pill thought definitely did not work). Then if your pharmacist tin can still go R300 information technology is a good alternative to R150. Best wishes Ian

I was put on this after a bowel performance, read the leaflet + on-line & told my gp I wouldn't take it any more - a while later it was taken off the prescription list in the UK - I wouldn't bear upon it.

IN CANADA THEY HAVE TAKEN RANITADINE OFF THE MARKET AND REPLACED IT WITH CIMITIDINE.Not SURE WHERE YOU LIVE,Just A SUGGESTION YOU Tin can SEE IF YOU CAN Become It CHANGED

Thanks, I am in UK for now Ranitidine is available here in 300mg only. Will consider Cimitidine at next GP review. Regards Ian

How-do-you-do all - a further update. In U.k. all Ranitidine is now unavailable in my area including 300mg. Doctor has suggested I motion to Famotidine 20Mg twice daily. Information technology is aforementioned H2 blocker form as Ranitidine. For now information technology is working well in fact better than Ranitidine. So this could be a viable alternative for anyone who like me doesn't get on with PPIs.
