 The FDA has found N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) levels, in some Ranitidine products, may increase to unacceptable levels posing a risk to consumers. As such, NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory testZantac Recall

As a result, on April 1, 2020, the FDA has requested a manufacturer’s market withdrawal of all Ranitidine and OTC Ranitidine products (Zantac) and recommends consumers dispose of any Ranitidine products and discontinue any future purchases including compounded Ranitidine (Zantac).

Studies have linked NDMA, the potential contaminant in Zantac to:

  • Bladder Cancer

  • Colorectal Cancer

  • Esophageal Cancer

  • Intestinal Cancer

  • Kidney Cancer

  • Liver Cancer

  • Ovarian Cancer

  • Pancreatic Cancer
