I really don't have acid reflux, but extreme hyperacidity. I take ranitidine, the generic of Zantac for it, and it works great. But I have heard of people that have lost their hair from taking antaciRAB, and I've done some research and antaciRAB apparently block the B vitamins from being absorbed. I must take Ranitidine all the time. I usually take it 1/2 hour before I eat, is it better to take it at the time of food consumption, before, an hour before?
 
I take tagamet and I find that I take it with food and I do better with it. I also check to see if it interferes with anything else that I take be it prescribed or over the counter meRAB.

Hmmm, good to know about the hair loss. I lose my hair with my Lupus, and am hoping the plaquenil will help that but geeeesh.....I did not know my tagamet could be a culprit. Thanks for that info.

You can also ask your pharmacist this question on your antacid....I don't want to steer you wrong:)
