The nutricoat contains essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) which can be beneficial in cases of osteoarthritis (OA). The rantac is ranitidine, which is an acid reducer. Your vet may have found that using the mega flex and nutricoat can cause some mild tummy upset and they feel the rantac helps with that. I can only speculate though. If you have more specific questions regarding the medications prescribed I would recommend following up with your regular vet, even just a phone call could give you the clarification you seek.
