Abstract
Ranitidine and oxmetidine are newly developed histamine H2-receptor antagonists without any antiandrogenic activity and probably without drug interactions. In numerous clinical trials ranitidine has been proven to be at least as effective as cimetidine in the short- and long-term treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Ranitidine was found to be remarkably safe. Its therapeutic use in man should not be associated with significant adverse reactions.
