Hi hun - I am not 100% sure but my paed said that Rant is a milder version as it decreases the acid wheras omprazole - stops the acid at the source so I would say stop the ranitidine but I would ring the doc to check

p.s. wouldn't have though you would need gav infant as well as normally they give you that then if not enough rant then onto omeprazole but sure your cons would know best

Hi my lo was on gaviscon ranitidine and domperidone as well, the paed then added Omeprazole. I queried whether we still needed the Ranitidine and he said yes as they worked in slightly different ways and I wasn't to stop the Ranitidine. Hope that helps.
