WHY ARE THERE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS BEING FILED?
Due to the dangers that Zantac has been shown to cause the people who take it, in April of 2020 they issued a statement stating all Zantac products were to be removed from the market completely, including any over the counter products. It was found that Zantac was prone to increase in a patient over a period of time. Also stated in the announcement was that NDMA is a human probable carcinogen. This means that it has the ability to cause a patient cancer. Since NDMA is found in Zantac, this puts all those who took the drug at a high risk for developing cancer. Since 2019, warnings regarding Zantac (Ranitidine) have been put out by companies who knew about these adverse effects.
ZANTAC AND RANITIDINE CAUSES CANCER IN PATIENTS
Zantac (Ranitidine) goes by many different names. While the most commonly known is Zantac, a consumer may have taken another generic brand. Including, but not limited to:
- Zantac 75 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength Cool Mint
- CVS Health Acid Reducer (ranitidine)
- Equate Ranitidine Tablets
- Acid Control (ranitidine)
- Heartburn Relieve (ranitidine)
- Wal-Zan 75
- Wal-Zan 150
Even before the announcement was made by the FDA, companies had known about its ties to cancer. There were warnings about Rantitine that came out as early as 2019 with the companies making recalls on Zantac. Some of these companies are:
- American Health Packaging
- Amneal Pharmaceuticals
- Aurobindo Pharma USA
- Apotex Corp.
- Appco Pharma
- Denton Pharma (dba Northwind Pharmaceuticals)
- Sanofi
- Reddy’s Laboratories
- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
- Glenmark Pharmaceuticals
- Novitium Pharma
- Sandoz
- Golden State Medical Supply
- Lannett Company
- Perrigo Company
- Precision Dose
SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS CAUSED BY ZANTAC USE
There have been serious side effects reported to the FDA dating all the way back to 2004. Some of these side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Colorectal cancer (#1 most common side effect that was 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 #1 most common reported adverse event that was reported to the FDA was colorectal cancer in over 8,000 cases. Renal cancer was found in nearly 6,000 cases, and bladder cancer had been reported in around 5,000 cases. All of the consumers who had taken Zantac took it in good faith, believing that it was a safe medication to help treat their problems such as acid reflux, stomach ulcers, or heartburn. Ranitidine is designed to be an anti-ulcer medication and is supposed to help patients with blocking the gastric acid and to help treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Unfortunately, these companies that were selling Zantac never made it known to any of their consumers that there were any issues with their product, or that it had any type of potential to cause cancer. They continued to keep it on the market and because of this, lawsuits are being filed against them.
