Why are Cimetidine and Ranitidine better antacids than sodium hydrogen carbonate or magnesium hydroxide?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As a result, less hydrochloric acid is released and the cause of hyperacidity is controlled or cured. Hence we can say cimetidine and ranitidine are better antacids than sodium hydrogen carbonate or magnesium or aluminium hydroxide because they control the root cause of acid in the stomach.
