In hospital environments, ranitidine played an important role in preventing stress-related gastric complications. Critically ill patients are at increased risk of developing stress ulcers due to physiological stress and reduced blood flow to the stomach lining.

Injectable ranitidine was commonly used in intensive care units to reduce acid secretion and protect gastric mucosa. This preventive approach lowered the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Ranitidine’s reliability and predictable action made it suitable for monitored hospital use. Healthcare teams could adjust dosing based on patient condition and response.

Its use in critical care highlighted the importance of preventive gastrointestinal protection in vulnerable patients.
