WHY ARE THERE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS CURRENTLY BEING FILED?
Because of the dangers that have been shown to be caused by those using Zantac, the FDA announced on April 1st, 2020 that all manufacturers were to completely withdraw all prescriptions and over the counter Zantac products immediately from the market. The FDA determined that the dangers of using Zantac are prone to increase over a period of time. They had specifically stated that NDMA is a probable human carcinogen. This means that it has the ability to cause the patient cancer. Since Zantac contains NDMA, this puts all persons who took Zantac at a risk for developing cancer. Since 2019, the FDA has been putting out warnings against Zantac.
ZANTAC AND GENERIC RANITIDINE CAN CAUSE CANCER IN PATIENTS
While Ranitidine can go by many different names, the most commonly known is Zantac. However, there are many other generic brands that a person may have taken, including the following:
- Zantac 75 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength Cool Mint
- Wal-Zan 75
- Wal-Zan 150
- Heartburn Relieve (ranitidine)
- CVS Health Acid Reducer (ranitidine)
- Acid Control (ranitidine)
- Equate Ranitidine Tablets
Even before the FDA had made any announcements, there had already been companies who had known of the risks of Zantac being tied to cancer. Since 2019, there had been many warnings about Ranitidine. Recalls even prior to the FDA announcement in 2020 were made by many companies, including:
- American Health Packaging
- Amneal Pharmaceuticals
- Aurobindo Pharma USA
- Apotex Corp.
- Appco Pharma
- Denton Pharma (dba Northwind Pharmaceuticals)
- Reddy’s Laboratories
- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
- Glenmark Pharmaceuticals
- Golden State Medical Supply
- Lannett Company
- Novitium Pharma
- Perrigo Company
- Precision Dose
- Sandoz
- Sanofi
SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS THAT ARE CAUSED BY ZANTAC
Some of the more serious side effects that can be caused by Zantac, and have been reported to the FDA between 2004-2020 include but are not limited to:
- Colorectal cancer (the #1 most common side effect 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)
- Gastric cancer
- Hepatic cancer
- Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic carcinoma)
In over 8,000 adverse events, colorectal cancer was listed as one of the cancers reported to the FDA. Bladder cancer had been reported in nearly 5,000 cases, while renal cancer was reported in close to 6,000 cases. So many consumers had taken Zantac with good faith that it was a safe medication for them to help in treating heartburn, stomach ulcers, and acid reflux. Ranitidine is an anti-ulcer medication used to help treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by blocking the gastric acid production. These companies and manufacturers who were selling Zantac didn’t make consumers aware that their product had the potential to cause cancer, and as a result, there are many lawsuits being filed against them.
