Ranitidine and procainamide absorption [letter]

Effect of ranitidine on procainamide disposition.

Studies of Moisture Absorption and Development of Stable Ranitidine Hydrochloride Tablets

In this study, an investigate effect of moisture absorption by ranitidine and resinates used to improve stability of ranitidine hydrochloride tablets. Moisture absorption by ranitidine at three different level of relative humidity (RH) has been studied. Percentage of moisture absorption at 22% was low as compared to 57% and 75% RH. To eliminate deliquescent tendency of drug, weak cation-exchang...

Effects of antacids, ferrous sulfate, and ranitidine on absorption of DR-3355 in humans.

This study examined the effects of widely used antacids (aluminum hydroxide, magnesium oxide, and calcium carbonate), ferrous sulfate, and ranitidine on the absorption of a fluorinated quinolone, (-)-(S)-9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro- 7H- pyrido-[1,2,3,-de][1,4]benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid hemihydrate (DR-3355), in healthy male volunteers enrolled in three sep...

antagonists-cimetidine and ranitidine

Few drugs have so rapidly gained an established place in modern medicine as the histamine H, receptor antagonists. As a result of the inventiveness of James Black and his colleagues, the theoretical concept of a second class of histamine receptors became a therapeutic reality. The failure of classic antihistamine drugs (more appropriately H1 receptor antagonists) to block the actions of histami...

Effects of Procainamide

Electrophysiological effects of 750 mg i.v. procainamide were studied in 14 patients with dual pathway atrioventricular (A-V) nodal re-entrant paroxysmal tachycardia (PSVT). All patients utilized an A-V nodal slow pathway for antegrade and an A-V nodal fast pathway for retrograde conduction during PSVT. In all 14 patients, procainamide depressed retrograde fast pathway conduction, manifest by i...
