The FDA announcement also stated that NDMA is a probable human carcinogen, meaning, it has the ability to cause cancer in patients who use it.

- Colorectal cancer (the #1 most common side effect reported to the FDA)

The most common reported cancer was Colorectal cancer, it was found in over 6,000 cases. Bladder cancer was the 2nd most reported in almost 5,000 cases. Consumers who took Zantac. took it in good faith, believing it was a safe medication for them to use in their treatment of acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. Ranitidine (an anti-ulcer medicine) is made to help block the gastric acid production in the body, and it helps patients who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the manufacturers and companies of Zantac had failed to make consumers aware of the potential risk that their product had for developing cancer. Due to this, lawsuits are pouring in against them daily.
