Counseling

A 
***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)***
