There are many prescription and over-the-counter drug alternatives in Canada that are authorized for the same or similar uses as ranitidine.Individuals taking a prescription ranitidine drug, including a recalled product, should not stop taking it unless they have spoken to their health care provider and obtained alternative treatment, as the risk of not treating the condition may be greater than the risk related to NDMA exposure.Contact your health care provider if you have taken a ranitidine product and you have concerns about your health.Report any health product adverse events or complaints to Health Canada. |
