Nighttime Reflux

Doctor, you responded to my question concerning nighttime reflux and its seriousness compared to other types of reflux.  You stated that "Nighttime Rantac" is prescribed for this condition.  I have searched three different medical databases and can find  no reference to this drug.  Could you be a little more specific and give me the complete name for this drug?  

Thanks!

Hi,
The drug is ranitidine hydrochloride.(It is a H2 Receptor Antagonist)
You need to take PPI twice a day along with bedtime ranitidine.
The bedtime ranitidine takes care 'nocturnal breakthrough' (night time reflux).
