|PD=There is limited information regarding Pharmacodynamics of Ranitidine (oral) in the drug label.

|PK======Absorption=====

  • Oral: 50%
  • Protein binding: 15%
Metabolism
  • N-oxide is the principal metabolite.
  • Half-life elimination: With normal renal function, ranitidine taken orally has a half-life of 2.5–3 hours. If taken intravenously, the half-life is generally 2-2.5 hours in a patient with normal creatinine clearance.
Excretion
  • The primary route of excretion is the urine. In addition, approximately 30% of the orally administered dose is collected in the urine as non-absorbed drug in 24 hours.
Elderly
  • In the elderly population, the plasma half-life of ranitidine is prolonged to 3–4 hours secondary to decreased kidney function causing decreased clearance.
Children
  • In general, studies looking pediatric patients (aged 1 month to 16 years) have showed no significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameter values in comparison to healthy adults, when correction is made for body weigh
