- Ranitidine is a very commonly used drug in clinical practice for acid peptic disease and has an excellent safety record. Studies from Uppsala Monitoring Center database cited that the frequency of hypersensitivity reactions for proton pump inhibitor and H2- histamine receptor antagonist is between 0.2% and 0.7%. Only a few cases of hypersensitivity to ranitidine have been reported. We report a case of 3 years old boy who developed hypersensitivity reaction after administration of Inj. Ranitidine, which subsided on removal of offending drug.
