Is Vaginal Bleeding A Side Effect Of Using Ranitidine 150?
I took a ranitidine 150 for the first time ever and then experienced vaginal bleeding later that night. It has been light bleeding for two days. Do you believe the two are connected? Also, other than not taking Ranitidine again, what should I do? I am on BC and between cycles.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is not likely that the bleeding is related to the ranitidine. It is not known to have an effect on menstrual bleeding.
At this point, you can monitor, it should stop in a few days. If the bleeding is prolonged then your doctor can give you medication to stop it.
Intermenstrual bleeding (bleeding between periods) can be due to infection, cervical changes (benign or cancerous), hormonal, fibroids.
These are some of the causes.
I hope this helps
