WHY ARE THERE ZANTAC CANCER LAWSUITS BEING FILED?
Because of the dangers Zantac has been shown to cause those who take it, the FDA made an announcement on April 1st, 2020 stating that all Zantac products were to be completely withdrawn from the market, including any over the counter Zantac products. They had found that the dangers of Zantac were prone to increase in a patient over a period of time. In the announcement, it also stated that NDMA is a probable human carcinogen, meaning it has the ability to cause cancer. Since there is NDMA in Zantac, this puts all patients at a very high risk of developing cancer. There have actually been warnings put out by the FDA regarding Zantac dating as far back as 2019.
ZANTAC AND RANITIDINE CAUSES CANCER IN PATIENTS
While Ranitidine may go by many different names, the most common is Zantac. However, there are also many other generic brands that one might have taken, including the following:
- Zantac 75 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Tablets
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength
- Zantac 150 Maximum Strength Cool Mint
- CVS Health Acid Reducer (ranitidine)
- Equate Ranitidine Tablets
- Acid Control (ranitidine)
- Heartburn Relieve (ranitidine)
- Wal-Zan 75
- Wal-Zan 150
Prior to any announcements made by the FDA, there had been companies who knew about the risks of Zantac and its ties to causing cancer. Many warnings about Ranitidine came out as early as 2019, with companies recalling Zantac. These companies include:
- 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
There have been serious side effects reported to the FDA dating all the way back to 2004. Some of these side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Colorectal cancer (#1 most common side effect that was 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 the #1 most common reported side effect and was reported in over 8,000 cases. Renal cancer came in second with nearly 6,000 adverse events, and bladder cancer was reported in close to 5,000. The consumers who took Zantac took it in good faith. They thought it was a safe medication for them to help treat their heartburn, stomach ulcers, or acid reflux. Ranitidine is made as an anti-ulcer medication and is designed to block gastric acid product and to help in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Unfortunately, the manufacturers and companies who were selling Zantac didn’t make it known to their consumers that their products had any potential to cause cancer, which is resulting in all the lawsuits being filed against them.
