After the commemoration that we have arranged ranitidine, many remembered all the best that was associated with him. It's cheap, affordable, and fast.
Ideas immediately appeared where he could help. They asked about a stuffy nose.
Believe it or not, ranitidine managed to be noted here as well. This is understandable. For almost 50 years of a fruitful life, he has done so much good that one need not be surprised.
Ranitidine is classified as a histamine receptor blocker. We constantly remember antihistamines for allergies. They block the so-called H1 receptors for histamine. And ranitidine blocks H2 receptors.
Sometimes with some kind of urticaria, you have to drink antihistamines for a long time, but I would like something more fun. And then H2 blockers are added to the H1 blockers. This tactic is not approved by all experts, but it is still often used.
The same applies to a stuffy nose. If we are talking about an allergic rhinitis, then only conventional antihistamines will not always help. Hormones are often added to or instead of them. When the choice of hormones for topical application was not very large, they tried to add ranitidine there to such patients. Locally. In the form of a solution. Happened. Allergy sufferers have less liquid snot.
It was in the dense 1989. Since then, a lot of snot has flowed under the bridge, and allergic rhinitis is no longer treated with ranitidine. And given the tainted reputation, they will never be likely. But the fact took place.
Ranitidine was a good medicine. Blessed memory of him!
