Zantac / Ranitidine Cancer Lawyer in New Mexico

Cancers Caused by Zantac

When you fill a prescription for Zantac / Ranitidine or purchase the over-the-counter version at your local pharmacy, you expect that it is safe. You don’t expect that your acid reflux medication will cause cancer or possibly kill you. Unfortunately, many drug companies cut corners in testing or don’t take reasonable steps to determine the potential side effects of a chemical compound. In too many instances, drug makers know about the potential hazards of a medication, but tell the public it is safe and effective.

FDA investigation uncovered a cancer-causing chemical known as NDMA in Zantac last year and recently ordered that Zantac and generic Ranitidine manufacturers stop making and selling the drugs. It appears that certain conditions can increase the levels of NDMA in the medication. Zantac / Ranitidine with NDMA has been associated with a number of cancers including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, intestinal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, brain cancer, throat/nasal cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, lung cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma. Risk of cancer appears to increase the longer you take Zantac / Ranitidine. The Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center is currently researching the link between NDMA-contaminated Zantac and cancer.
