Look for reduced-fat dressings with 100 calories or less per 2 tablespoon serving. If you don't find a light dressing that suits you, consider making your own. Oil and vinegar is a good choice, if used in moderation. Simply combine one part olive oil to two parts vinegar, adding additional herbs and spices to taste.
Ranitidine is in a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers. Ranitidine works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. Ranitidine is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It also treats conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Ranitidine also treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions in which acid backs up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn.

Ranitidine is indicated for: - Treatment of duodenal ulcer, benign stomach ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux, - Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a condition that causes increased secretion of gastric acid). IV rantidine is indicated for: - Preoperatively in patients at risk of acid aspiration syndrome (Mendelson syndrome). - Prevention of stomach and intestinal bleeding due to stress ulcer.
