How does Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) cause bladder cancer?
Glaxo Holdings Ltd® (aka GSK® or GlaxoSmithKline®) created and sold Zantac® beginning in 1983 to reduce excess acid produced in stomach cells.
It was first approved for short-term use only by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for its potential to cause cancer if prescribed in long-term use–however, Zantac® began being marketed for long-term maintenance use.
Since over-the-counter Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) contains high levels of the potentially dangerous chemical N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), it has potentially been linked to several types of lifelong cancers–including bladder cancer.
- The FDA advises the public to not ingest more than 96 nanograms of NDMA daily.
- Although food and water can both be contaminated with NDMA, the known levels of the chemical aren’t enough to cause actual harm.
- One 150mg tablet of ranitidine showed more than 47,000 nanograms of NDMA in urine samples tested.
We believe that these bladder cancer victims should get the compensation and justice they deserve by addressing the makers of Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) in a court of law.
