ABSTRACT
Ranitidine is a widely used over-the-counter antacid medication, and is generally very well tolerated. To our knowledge, anaphylaxis secondary to ranitidine is exceedingly rare, and has only been reported in a few case reports. We present a patient who developed an anaphylactic reaction after one tablespoon of ranitidine. The goal of this manuscript is to add to the paucity of literature of this rare but life-threatening adverse effect of a commonly used medication.
