Get a ranitidine (Zantac) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Ranitidine (Zantac) is an ulcer medication belonging to a family of drugs known as histamine-2 (H2) blockers.

A ranitidine prescription works by reducing the amount of acid produced by the cells in the lining of your stomach.

Most commonly, you could be given a ranitidine prescription online to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, or to help prevent them from returning once they’ve healed.

Zantac can also be used to treat other issues in the esophagus, stomach or intestines, such as:

• Erosive esophagitis (inflammation and weakening of the lining of the esophagus, caused by acid moving back up from the stomach)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD (excess acid from the stomach backing up into the esophagus, causing heartburn)
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (a condition where the stomach naturally produces too much acid)

Additionally, you can buy Zantac online to treat symptoms caused by non-specific sources, such as:

• Heartburn
• Stomach pain
• Lingering cough
• Difficulty swallowing

Zantac is available as a tablet, a capsule, a liquid-filled capsule, as syrup, as powder to be mixed with liquid or in the form of an oral suspension liquid. All of these are to be taken orally.

While ranitidine is available over-the-counter in most areas, your doctor may give you a Zantac prescription if they believe you need a stronger dosage.

Always follow the dosage and frequency of usage instructions on the packaging, or located in the instructions alongside your prescription.

In some cases, ranitidine is given intravenously as an injection or through an IV. This would only be done by a licensed health practitioner at a registered health care facility and wouldn’t be given in this form for prescription use at home.

The only common side effect from taking a ranitidine prescription is experiencing headaches (sometimes severe).

Less common side effects include:

• Constipation
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal discomfort or pain

Even if you’ve been given a Zantac prescription online, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting the medication if you’ve ever experienced:

• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Porphyria (a genetic enzyme disorder, which can cause unpleasant symptoms in the skin or nervous system)

Using ranitidine can increase your risk of contracting pneumonia. Talk to your doctor immediately if you start to experience any of these symptoms:

• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fever
• Coughing up yellow or green mucus

While Zantac isn’t expected to have an impact on unborn children in pregnant women, it’s known to pass through breast milk. Make sure to consult your doctor before starting a Zantac prescription if you’re breastfeeding.

If you have any questions about the medication, you can speak to a doctor on Maple by registering for an account.
