WHY ARE THERE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS BEING FILED?
Due to the dangers that Zantac have been shown to cause, an announcement was made on April 1, 2020 by the FDA which stated that all Zantac manufacturers were to completely withdraw all prescriptions, and any over the counter Zantac products immediately from the market. It had been determined that the dangers of using Zantac were prone to increase over a period time. The announcement also specifically stated the NDMA is a probable human carcinogen, which means it has the ability to cause cancer in any patients using it. Since NDMA is found in Zantac, this puts all of those patients at a high risk for developing cancer, just by using Zantac. The FDA has been putting warnings out against Zantac back since 2019.
ZANTAC AND RANITIDINE CAUSES CANCER IN PATIENTS
Ranitidine goes by many different names, but the most common is Zantac. However, many other generic brands a person might have taken include the following:
- Zantac 75 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength Cool Mint
- Wal-Zan 75
- Wal-Zan 150
- CVS Health Acid Reducer (ranitidine)
- Equate Ranitidine Tablets
- Acid Control (ranitidine)
- Heartburn Relieve (ranitidine)
Long before any announcements were made by the FDA, there had been companies who knew the risks of Zantac being tied to cancer. There had been many warnings out there about Ranitidine as early as 2019. Even prior to the FDA announcement made in 2020, recalls were made by companies including:
- 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
Some more serious side effects that may be caused by Zantac, and that have been reported to the FDA dating back from 2004 all the way to 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)
- Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic carcinoma)
- Hepatic cancer
- Gastric cancer
Colorectal cancer was listed as the most common side effect reported to the FDA, and had been reported in over 8,000 cases. Bladder cancer was reported in almost 5,000 cases, and renal cancer was reported in nearly 6,000 cases. Consumers had taken Zantac in good faith, thinking it was a safe medication in helping to treat their heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach ulcers. Ranitidine is an anti-ulcer medication made to block the gastric acid production and help treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, these companies and manufacturers that were selling Zantac did not make it known to their consumers that their product even had the potential to cause cancer, resulting in all the lawsuits being filed against them.
