Ranitidine is not a steroid. Ranitidina no es un esteroide. Ranitidine is for the stomach and is a Histamine H2 Receptor Antagonist.

Ranitidine is used to treat ulcers; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the food pipe (esophagus); and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Over-the-counter ranitidine is used to prevent and treat symptoms of heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach. Ranitidine is in a class of medications called H2 blockers. It decreases the amount of acid made in the stomach.
IT IS NOT A STEROID BUT HAS ANTI INFLAMMATORY EFFECT ON STOMACH AND ESOPHAGUS , AND A WRONG NOTION IS CREATED THAT IT'S STEROID WHICH IS WRONG.

If you are in urgent need of a doctor then I suggest that you go see one.
