WHY ARE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS CURRENTLY BEING FILED?
Lawsuits against Zantac are flooding in because the drug itself has been proven to cause much harm to the patients who use it. As of April 1st, 2020, the FDA issued a statement stating that all Zantac manufacturers must withdraw all prescriptions immediately from the market. This also included any over the counter medications. It had been determined that the dangers Zantac were causing patients had also showed to be prone to increase over time. The FDA announcement also had stated that NDMA is a probable human carcinogen. That means, it has the ability to cause cancer in any patient who may have used it. Since NDMA is found in Zantac, this puts anyone and everyone who took the drug at a high risk for developing cancer. There have been warnings against Zantac put out by the FDA dating all the way back to 2019.

SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE DRUG ZANTAC
Many side effects have been reported to the FDA regarding Zantac, some of which date back to 2004. A few of these adverse effects the FDA have gotten reported were:
- Colorectal cancer (#1 most common side effect that has been reported to the FDA)
- Chronic kidney disease (#4)
- Renal cancer (#5)
- Bladder cancer (#11)
- Acute kidney injury (#14)
- Renal failure (#15)
- Prostate cancer (#19)
- Oesophageal carcinoma (#21)
- Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic carcinoma)
- Hepatic cancer
- Gastric cancer
The most common reported side effect to the FDA was colorectal cancer, it had been found in over 6,000 patients. Bladder cancer had been found in close to 5,000 patients. The patients who had taken Zantac took the drug thinking it would be a safe medication for them to help in treating their acid reflux, heartburn, or stomach ulcers. Ranitidine was designed as an anti-ulcer medication and made to help block gastric acid production in a consumer and patients who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, because the companies that manufacture Zantac failed to make those who took their drug aware of the potential risks of developing cancer, there have been many lawsuits coming forward against them.
