Counseling
``` ***While the H2 Blockers (and PPIs) have similar properties, they are not interchangeable and each one offers a different array of drug properties and interactions. You may think of them as a class of medications but do NOT assume that if there is no drug interaction with ranitidine (Zantac) that there won't be an interaction if your patient switches to cimetidine (Tagamet)*** ```
