Zantac
Acid reflux remedy
Zantac is a brand name for ranitidine, a medication that reduces stomach acid production.
It was widely used to treat heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers: I took some Zantac before eating spicy food.
The drug was withdrawn from markets in 2020 after testing revealed contamination with a probable carcinogen.
