Zantac claims
Zantac claims refer to legal actions taken against the manufacturers of Zantac (ranitidine), a medication that was commonly used to treat heartburn, acid reflux, and other related conditions. The claims stem from allegations that Zantac and its generic versions contain a potentially cancer-causing substance called N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)
Reason for Claims:
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that some ranitidine products contained higher-than-acceptable levels of NDMA, a probable human carcinogen.
- Lawsuits allege that prolonged exposure to NDMA through Zantac use may have led to the development of various types of cancer.
Types of Cancer Allegedly Linked to Zantac:
- Stomach cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Liver cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Prostate cancer (in some cases)
