Roxatidine hydrochloride is an anti-ulcer agent and histamine antagonist that suppresses gastric acid secretion. It effectively heals duodenal and gastric ulcers and reduces ulcer pain. Roxatidine acetate has an improved safety profile compared to other similar drugs, in part because lower doses of roxatidine acetate are therapeutically effective.

Roxatidine, the active metabolite of Roxatidine acetate hydrochloride, serves as a histamine H2-receptor antagonist and exhibits anti-ulcer properties. It functions by suppressing the release of histamine, thereby inhibiting proton secretion, and also reduces the production of VEGF-1, a key indicator of inflammation and angiogenesis. This compound demonstrates an anti-allergic inflammatory effect [1].
