Zantac No Longer Available in U.S. Due to Cancer-Causing Contaminant

In April 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the agency had requested manufacturers of prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine (Zantac) medications immediately withdraw the medication from the market. As part of an ongoing investigation, public health officials determined the medication exposes consumers to unacceptable levels of the carcinogen N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

FDA Studies Confirm: NDMA Levels in Zantac Increase Under Normal Storage Conditions

U.S. Food and Drug administration testing and evaluation confirm that levels of the carcinogen N-Nitrosodimethylamine, (NDMA) in ranitidine medications (Zantac) increase even under ordinary storage conditions. NDMA levels increase even more significantly when the medication is exposed to higher temperatures, including during distribution and handling by consumers.

NDMA levels were also found to increase the older the products were, and the longer time had passed since manufacturing.

NDMA is classified as a Probable Human Carcinogen

NDMA is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Class 2A probable human carcinogen based on laboratory test results.
