What Is Zantac?

Zantac is a common, over-the-counter heartburn medication. It is the brand name for ranitidine. Ranitidine decreases stomach acid by blocking H-2 histamine receptors in the stomach. Common uses for Zantac include treating acid reflux and peptic ulcers.

Ranitidine Products Expose Patients to High Levels of NDMA

According to an article in The National Law Review, taking Zantac and other ranitidine products can cause high levels of exposure to N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). A study conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that this potent carcinogen can potentially cause stomach, liver, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. As a result, there have been massive recalls of Zantac, along with countless lawsuits filed across the country.

Requirements to File a Zantac Lawsuit In Florida

There are a few requirements to file a Zantac lawsuit. First, you must prove that you used Zantac or another type of ranitidine drug. This can be done either with prescription medical records or store receipts if it was purchased over the counter. You must also prove that you were injured as a result of taking the drug. If you have been diagnosed with one of the aforementioned cancers after taking ranitidine, you need to file a lawsuit immediately. Our Tampa medical malpractice lawyers will exhaust all our available resources in order to correlate a cancer diagnosis with use of Zantac. We will make sure that you and your family are fully compensated for this tragedy.
