ACILOC 150MG contains Ranitidine which belongs to a group of medicines called H2 receptor antagonists. It acts by reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for the treatment and prevention of ulcers of stomach and intestine. It also heals and stop problems caused by heartburn (acid in the food pipe) or indigestion. Ranitidine reduces the secretion of gastric acid stimulated either by food or drugs like non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), often used to treat arthritis. It reduces gastric acid production by reversibly binding to histamine (H2) receptors present in the lining of gastric parietal cells.
