Zantac started as a prescription drug and later became a non-prescription histamine-2 (H2) receptor, antagonist. Basically, the amount of acid made by the stomach is reduced with the introduction of Zantac and its active ingredient ranitidine. The acid buildup has the potential to cause heartburn and ulcers in some people whose stomach lining isn't strong enough or properly lined to hold the acid in place. Zantac was able to provide assistance to many of these patients.
