Ranitidine hydrochloride is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that functions by competitively inhibiting the action of histamine at the H2 receptors of the parietal cells in the stomach. This inhibition results in a reduction in the volume of gastric secretions, as well as a decrease in the overall concentration of hydrogen ions. By decreasing the production of gastric acid, ranitidine hydrochloride can help to create a less acidic environment. Ranitidine hydrochloride′s mode of action involves binding to the H2 receptors on the basolateral membrane of the parietal cell, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the production of gastric acid. Ranitidine hydrochloride may have a cytoprotective effect on the gastric mucosa, which may contribute to its overall impact on reducing gastric acid secretion. Ranitidine hydrochloride plays a role in modulating the production of gastric acid in experimental applications.
