How much ranitidine is equivalent to omeprazole?

[DaveT81]

Hey all, I realise this may well be subjective but I was wondering how much shelf bought ranitidine would be equivalent to 20mg omeprazole?

I only ask as I'm currently subbing with ranitidine while awaiting my omeprazole prescription. I took 75mg yesterday but felt very off and bloated in the evening. I've taken the same again today. Should I be taking more instead?

FYI: I'm well aware they're totally different drugs, but people use them in the same way, so please don't feel the need to 'educate' me in any comments you make.

They are 2 totally different drugs. Ones a ppi and the other an H2 antagonist. But if you just waiting for your omep then I have one 75 my am and one pm .

Yeah, I know they're totally different drugs. That wasn't my question.

But you answered my question with the second part of your sentence, so thanks at least for that.

I have NASH as well as a recent diagnosis of GERD I take Ranitidine as I understand it is less harmful to liver but not 100% sure on this I take 150 morn & evening seems to work

Ah, thanks Jimmy.

I have been taking 75mg just in the morning, because I take 20mg om in the morning. Took 75mg last night too though, as I was becoming very bloated.
