What does it do?

Roxatidine acetate hydrochloride belongs to the class of drugs known as histamine H2 receptor antagonists. This ingredient is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers by reducing the excessive secretion of acid in the stomach.

This ingredient decreases gastric acid secretion by blocking the histamine H2 receptors in the gastric wall cells. As a result, it reduces mucosal damage caused by gastric acid and aids in the healing of ulcers.
