Why are Zantac Cancer Lawsuits being filed?
Because Zantac had been shown to have a link to cause cancer, there was a statement put out by the FDA in April 2020 stating that manufacturers must withdraw Zantac, as well as all other prescriptions from the market immediately. This statement also included any over the counter prescriptions. The FDA had discovered that the dangers of Zantac were possible to increase in a patient over a period of time. Since NDMA is found inside Zantac, this puts patients who have taken it at a much higher risk for developing cancer. There had been warnings regarding Zantac by the FDA dating all he way back to 2019.

Zantac (which is also known as Ranitidine) goes by many different names. The most common name it is known by is Zantac, but there are different brands a consumer might have taken, which includes:

Before the FDA issued their statement, many companies that had known Zantac had a cancer causing ability for the consumer. There had been warnings placed against Ranitidine dating all the way back to 2019. A lot of these companies made recalls prior to the FDA statement, which include:

Other Serious Side Effects of Zantac
During the years 2004-2020, the FDA received many other serious side effects regarding Zantac, which included:
- Colorectal cancer (was 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)
Most commonly, the FDA had colorectal cancer reported in over 8,000 cases. In over 6,000 cases was renal cancer, and bladder cancer as found in almost 5,000 cases. All patients who took Zantac had taken it in good faith, believing that the drug was safe to help treat their issues such as heartburn, stomach ulcers, and/or acid reflux. Zantac (Ranitidine) has been designed as an anti-ulcer medication made to block gastric acid production in a patient. However, all of the companies and manufactures who had known Zantac had a possibility of causing cancer had never made it known to any of their consumers and because of this, there are tons of lawsuits being filed against them.
