Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:The plasma concentration of some calcium channel blockers may be increased by H2 blockers such as cimetidine and ranitidine. The mechanism is related to inhibition of liver cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for metabolism and/or increased gastric pH. Ranitidine is a much weaker inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 system and effects are not expected to be clinically significant. Other H2 blockers, antacids, and proton pump inhibitors that notably increase gastric pH would be expected to have a similar effect. Clinical monitoring of patient response and tolerance is recommended and calcium channel blocker dosage adjustments may be indicated.
