Zantac (Ranitidine HCL)

MDS notwithstanding, I also have acid reflux problems. My doc initially had me on Zantac 300mg twice a day. Over the last four years I've tapered down to 300mg per day, then to 150mg per day. I did have the occasional night sweats that were relatively mild when taking Revlimid. However, no longer do I have the sweats; so maybe Zantac has helped me. But then I'm not taking Revlimid so can't say for sure.
