Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Zantec/Ranitidine?
| Whilst at the vets yesterday I was told that the liquid form of Zantec (230ml) that Trixie is on costs about £80!! The vet mentioned Ranitidine? Tricia |

| Hi Tricia, Ranitidine is basically the generic name for Zantac and it's much cheaper. My dog Tipsi is on Famotidine which is the generic brand of Pepcid AC. It saves us a lot of money! :) |

| Hi Layla. Thanks for your post. I have just phoned an online company, PetMed and they are selling Ranitidine in tablet form 60@150 mg for around £5.20. My insurance coverage I'm sure has come to an end now and I seriously need to find other ways of getting Trixie's medication. Tricia |

| Tricia, We used plain old generic pepcid over the counter. Works pretty much the same for very little cost. Vets often keep a store of meds that are prescriptions that match things you can buy otc. Check with your vet if they will approve otc pepcid. Patrice |
