FDA Alert: Potential Cancer Risk Associated with Zantac and Ranitidine Products

Do I have a Case if I Took Zantac and was Later Diagnosed with Cancer?

On April 1, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the removal of all ranitidine products, including those sold under the brand name Zantac. The request was issued after sources found unhealthy levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in some ranitidine products. NDMA is classified as a possible carcinogenic by several organizations, including the FDA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). As a result, individuals who have taken Zantac or another ranitidine product may now have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer.

What Types of Cancer Could Ranitidine Cause?

Prolonged NDMA exposure may increase the risk of many different types of cancer. This includes all forms of the substance, such as tablets, syrups, and injectable ranitidine. Some cancers that may develop from prolonged NDMA exposure could include:

  • Liver
  • Kidney
  • Lung
  • Testicular
  • Stomach

NDMA exposure from ranitidine may also contribute to the development of other types of cancer. A knowledgeable Zantac lawyer from Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa could evaluate your circumstances and help you determine if you have a case.
