Will taking ranitidine delay my period?

Clinically, ranitidine has no side effects on delayed menstruation. Taking ranitidine generally does not cause delayed menstruation, while delayed menstruation may have other reasons, such as pregnancy factors, menstrual disorders, etc.

Ranitidine is a gastric mucosal protective drug, usually used for peptic ulcer bleeding, diffuse gastric mucosal lesion bleeding, anastomotic ulcer bleeding, prevention of rebleeding after gastric surgery, etc. This drug does not have the side effect of delaying menstruation, so the use of ranitidine will not delay menstruation, but you should also strictly follow the doctor's advice to avoid adverse reactions such as allergic reactions, gastrointestinal dysfunction, abnormal liver function, and central nervous system disorders.

There are more reasons for delayed menstruation in women. If it happens to women of childbearing age without protective sex measures, the possibility of pregnancy should be highly suspected. Menstrual disorders are also a cause of delayed menstruation, such as adverse mental factors, taking various contraceptives, using intrauterine devices, etc., which may lead to symptoms such as delayed menstruation, thinning hair, and even amenorrhea.

Women are advised to pay attention to delayed menstruation and go to the hospital if necessary to find out the specific cause under the guidance of a professional doctor, and then receive targeted treatment. Do not take medication privately.
