Many Zantac Users Fear Stomach Cancer From Taking The Drug

Zantac allegedly causes many different types of cancer, but stomach cancer may be the most common

Tuesday, September 22, 2020 - The FDA and reputable drug testing companies have found Zantac and other brands of the heartburn relief drug ranitidine to contain elevated and possibly carcinogenic levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Zantac (ranitidine) was always known to contain NDMA but at a level thought by the FDA to be safe. Only recently were the results of the tests made public that alleged Zantac contained levels of NDMA thousands of times greater and sparking cancer concerns. Thousands of people that have used Zantac in the past decade and have developed cancer have hired a Zantac Cancer Lawyer to file a claim for lump sum compensation due to the personal injuries they have allegedly suffered from taking Zantac. Zantac is alleged to cause a variety of deadly, painful cancer like bladder, colon, breast, and prostate cancer but most often lawsuits have focused on stomach cancer. Zantac acid reflux stomach cancer attorneys offer a free consultation and no obligation to file a claim.

Stomach cancer, also known as Gastric cancer, was the reason women from the midwest recently filed a Zantac Cancer Lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, the maker of Zantac. According to NewYorkLegalExaminer, "An Illinois woman recently filed a new Zantac lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. She claims that after taking the antacid drug for years, she developed cancer, which she believes was caused by the medication. Multiple manufacturers, including Sanofi, which currently produces Zantac, have issued recalls of Zantac and generic ranitidine after tests found many of the products contained N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen." The Examiner told readers that the women took the over-the-counter drug routinely for around 18 years and followed the direction on the packaging. She developed stomach cancer in 2019 and immediately made the connection with using Zantac.

The Mayo Clinic writes extensively about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for stomach and gastric cancer, telling us that stomach cancer usually begins in the stomach's protective mucus membrane, the part of the stomach that protects its tissue from stomach acid. The rates of stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach, the gastroesophageal junction, have been on the rise. The epidemic of obesity in North America coincides with people overeating, and when the stomach overfills, acids spill out and up into the esophagus, an organ not protected against highly corrosive stomach acid. If you have been taking the heartburn and acid reflux medicine Zantac or another form of ranitidine, you should closely self-monitor for potential signals of stomach or gastric cancer. Diagnosing and treating stomach cancer in the earliest stage is key to successfully treating the disease. You may have stomach cancer if you start to feel fatigued, bloated, easily full after eating, persistent and severe heartburn or indigestion, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and weight loss. Zantac and other heartburn drug victims should immediately seek medical attention at the first sign of any of these symptoms.
