Hello dear friend @slobberchops.

Brother, the situation is really not easy for you right now.
But can I tell you something? I think it looks worse than it really is.

I am sure you would find some other medication that can help you control gastric reflux. The detail is that you are already accustomed to ranitidine. Maybe physiologically, maybe some psychological aspect is also present. The truth is that you need the ranit ...

I see two worrying aspects in your narration:

• The disappearance of the product on the shelves. Did you find out if it really was an order from the health authorities?

• Online product marketing. This seems to me like a mercantilist move.

Maybe someone with some "confidential" information, went ahead of the ranitidine ban and "bought" the entire existence. Since as you mentioned there is no regulation as to the amount you can buy.
This with the intention of taking advantage of the drug dependence of patients like you.

The lack of scruples has no limits on certain people.

Pd: have you tried naturist products? Aloe Vera is very effective.

All best, Piotr.
