Hives/ urticaria

2025-03-17 18:48:13
I am experiencing hives and itchy skin for months. Doctor prescribed me desloratadine and ranitidine for a month. I want to know if this ranitidine is safe for use. I have heard it is banned drug due to presence of NDMA. Can I take pantapraziole or please suggest some other safest PPI. Please.
