Ranitidine: have been taking for over 6 months, 300 mg at night before bed. I have tried several other medications in the past that work for few months, but then stop working. Have very severe acid to the point it was scaring my lungs. I have noticed the Ranitidine seems to cause a Body Odor - especially notice it in my shoes - strong smell - not bad odor, but very strong. Also noticed the odor on my bath towels, So what does this mean, this body odor?
