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.

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.

Most commonly reported has been Colorectal cancer which was found in over 6,000 patient cases. Bladder cancer was 2nd and was found in almost 5,000 cases. These patients and consumers who took Zantac took the drug in good faith, believing that it was a safe medication to use to treat their heartburn, acid reflux, or any stomach ulcers. Ranitidine (an anti-ulcer medicine) was designed to help in blocking gastric acid production throughout the body, and to help patients who suffer gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Unfortunately, the companies and manufacturers who make Zantac failed to make their consumers aware of any potential risk that their product had for developing serious injury, or cancer. Because of this, lawsuits have been pouring in against them.
