Frequently asked questions
What is Zantac?
Chemically known as ranitidine hydrochloride, Zantac is a very popular antacid medication that has been on the market since the early 1980s. Zantac is available over the counter (Zantac OTC) and by prescription. People commonly use Zantac for acid reflux, heartburn, and a host of other stomach, throat, and gastrointestinal issues.
Does Zantac Cause Cancer?
Zantac and its generic active ingredient, ranitidine hcl, metabolizes into N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) a chemical that the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) all classify as a (cancer-causing) carcinogen.
Over the last 40 years, several studies have made the case that Zantac causes cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “NDMA is clearly carcinogenic. There is overwhelming evidence that NDMA is mutagenic and clastogenic.”
What is Zantac Cancer Lawsuit?
Zantac personal injury or Zantac wrongful death lawsuits are filed by individuals (or their family members) who developed cancer after taking Zantac. Filing an individual personal injury lawsuit allows people who developed cancer to obtain the maximum possible compensation for their injuries. The law on damages varies from state to state, but there are different kinds of damages that the law allows you to receive, such as those for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of past and future earnings, temporary or permanent disability, and any other compensable damages.
