[edit] Structure
I think you might need to check the structure of this, the nitro group should not be connected to a ethylene group, it looks like its just a methyl group. Check this out: [1]
- You're correct, thanks. I've amended the structure. -Techelf 09:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Need to mention that it may cause false positive drug test for methamphetamine. (this unsigned comment was added on 29 June 2007 by 4.244.159.249)
[edit] Price
This has become an amazingly inexpensive drug. I recently bought a bottle of 240 generic Ranitidine tablets (75 mg) at Sam's Club for $5.88 (i.e., 2.5 cents/tablet). Is it appropriate to put something in the article about the price? NCdave 13:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shortage?
Some of the eBay auctions for Ranitidine mention "the ranitidine shortage." Is there such a thing? What is causing it? Should it be mentioned in the article? NCdave 14:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Abuse and False Positives
Reference source "2" does not support the statements in the "Abuse and False Positives" section. I searched through a couple of journal databases but couldn't find any confirmatory research for this. However I found some anecdotal support for this in Introductory clinical pharmacology (Roach & Ford, 2008)(Available for viewing online at Google Books). Someone with more expertise in pharmacology might be better positioned to appraise the source and amend the article. Jdcounselling (talk) 16:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Metabolism?
Can experts expand on this article to include more information on metabolism? It states that clearance mechanisms are hepatic, but can we be more specific? --1000Faces (talk) 20:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Error in text?
This esentence appears in the article "The drug not only increases gastric pH, but also reduces the total output of gastric juice." I believe it should say "not only decreases gastic pH" - can some competant person please check this out and take appropriate action? <span style="font-sinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
