Zantac and other forms of Ranitidine linked to probable carcinogen
Romanucci & Blandin is currently representing dozens of consumers of Zantac (ranitidine) with bladder, colon, stomach and/or other types of cancer and illnesses associated with Zantac consumption.
On September 13, 2019, the US Food & Drug Administration reported discovery of a cancer causing carcinogen NDMA in Zantac, a common heartburn medication. The levels have been found to be between 3,000 and 26,000 times higher than what the agency has determined to be safe.
Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of consumers alleging drug makers knew or should have known the product had been contaminated with a cancer causing chemical, and failed to warn consumers and the government.
In addition to causing cancer, NDMA is a potent hepatotoxin. Short-term exposure to NDMA can cause liver damage. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of liver, kidney, and lung tumors.
Symptoms of NDMA overexposure include:
- headaches
- fever
- nausea
- jaundice
- vomiting
- abdominal cramps
- enlarged liver
- reduced function of the liver, kidneys and lungs
- dizziness
- nervous system disorders
- arrhythmia or tachycardia (irregular or rapid heartbeat)
- vitamin B-12 deficiency
- hepatitis
- liver failure
- increased risk of pneumonia
- low platelet levels in the blood
- skin rashes
- hair loss
