WHY ARE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS CURRENTLY BEING FILED?
Due to the dangers that are caused when people take Zantac, the FDA announced on April, 1, 2020 that they were requesting all manufacturers to completely withdraw all prescriptions and over the counter Zantac products from the market immediately. The FDA had determined the dangers of using Zantac are prone to increase over time. They specifically had stated NDMA is a probable human carcinogen. Which means that it can cause the patient cancer. Since NDMA is in Zantac, this puts any person who took Zantac at risk for developing cancer. The FDA has been putting out warnings about Zantac since 2019.
ZANTAC AND GENERIC RANITIDINE CAN CAUSE CANCER IN PATIENTS
Ranitidine can go by many different names. While it is most known by Zantac, there are many other generics brands that a person might 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
Long before any of the FDA announcements, companies had known Zantac had been tied to cancer. Since 2019, there had been warnings regarding ranitidine. Many of these companies had made recalls even prior the FDA announcement in 2020, 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 CAUSED BY ZANTAC
While some are mild, some of the more serious side effects caused by Zantac that have been reported to the FDA during 2004-2020 include:
- 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)
Colorectal cancer was listed in over 8,000 of the adverse events that had been reported to the FDA. Renal cancer had been reported in almost 6,000 cases and bladder cancer had been reported in nearly 5,000 cases. Consumers of Zantac had taken the drug in good faith, thinking it was a safe medication for them to use to treat acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. Ranitidine is known as an anti-ulcer medication that is made to block the gastric acid production and to help treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Companies and manufacturers who were selling Zantac did not make the consumers aware their product had the ability to cause cancer, and as a result of this, many lawsuits are being filed against them.
