Aciloc 300mg contains the active ingredient Ranitidine, which is classified as an H2 receptor antagonist or H2 blocker. It works by reducing the production of stomach acid. Here's how it works:

1. Stomach Acid Production: Normally, the stomach produces acid as part of the digestive process. This acid helps break down food and facilitates the absorption of nutrients. However, excessive stomach acid production can lead to various digestive problems, including heartburn, indigestion, ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

2. Blocking Histamine: Ranitidine in Aciloc 300mg blocks the action of a substance called histamine on specific receptors in the stomach lining known as H2 receptors. Histamine is a chemical messenger that stimulates the stomach's acid-producing cells (parietal cells) to release acid.

3. Reducing Acid Secretion: By inhibiting histamine's effect on H2 receptors, Ranitidine decreases the amount of acid that the stomach produces. This leads to a reduction in the acidity of the stomach contents.

4. Symptom Relief: The decrease in stomach acid helps alleviate the symptoms associated with excess acid, such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. It also promotes the healing of stomach ulcers by creating a less acidic environment in the stomach.

If you remember the missed dose and it's not too close to your next scheduled dose, take it as soon as you recall.
