How does Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) cause pancreatic cancer?
Glaxo Holdings Ltd® (aka GSK® or GlaxoSmithKline®) created and sold Zantac® beginning in 1983 to reduce excess acid produced in stomach cells.
Zantac® was initially approved only for short-term use by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) due to its potential to cause cancer in long-term use–however, it was then marketed for long-term use without appropriate warnings of the cancer-causing potential.
Since Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) has potentially been linked to several types of lifelong cancers–namely pancreatic cancer–because it contains dangerously high levels of a potentially dangerous chemical called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Shield Legal Network believes that consumers diagnosed with pancreatic cancer must get the justice and compensation they deserve, starting by addressing the makers of Zantac® (aka ranitidine®) in a court of law.
