Rationale 1:PPIs include the prazole as the ending. An example is omeprazole (Prilosec).
Rationale 2:Ranitidine (Zantac) is not an antibiotic
Rationale 3:Ranitidine (Zantac) is an H2-receptor antagonist.
Rationale 4:Ranitidine (Zantac) is not an antacid.

Global Rationale: Ranitidine (Zantac), cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid), and nizatidine (Axid) are H2-receptor antagonists or blockers.
