Hello!

I am still overseas, arrivng back on Thursday and I will catch up with messages then... All has been great here with the exception that G has developed a bit of reflux... he is a happy chucker most of the time but he wasn't putting enough weight and you could see him suffering sometimes so the paed here put him in reflux medication and he has been much better since then.

My question is if Ranitidine for babies can be bought over the counter in Australia or if I need a prescription. I have a Spanish presription so I can buy it here but if I don't need a prescription there I will not bother buying a few spare bottles here to take with me to use while we find a paed over there...

Thanks!!

you need a script for it here also, You can buy adult zantac/ ranadadine tablets her but for the syrup or there efforsor ( disolvable tabs) you need a script

Zoe has just been started on Ranitidine - you do need a script for it - but it's one that can be prescribed by your GP so you won't necessarily need a Paed appointment...
