The drug companies are accused of designing, manufacturing, and marketing a harmful medicine that can cause cancer and result in economic and non-economic losses in the Zantac cancer litigation currently pending.
A Zantac lawsuit is a legal claim filed by people who have been injured by Zantac and ranitidine tainted with NDMA. Zantac lawsuits seek compensation from the drug’s producers for cancers of the stomach, bladder, and other organs linked to NDMA, a suspected human carcinogen.
Why have Zantac Lawsuits been filed?
Zantac lawsuits allege that the medicine’s maker created a defective product and that the drug’s label failed to adequately notify health care providers and patients that the drug could raise the risk of cancer. Due to high NDMA levels in over-the-counter Zantac and its generic ranitidine counterpart, consumers who bought it off the shelf are concerned it could cause cancer, like stomach, kidney, prostate, brain cancers, or other side effects.
According to Healthline, Zantac—also known by its core constituent, ranitidine—can induce a multitude of side effects, some of which may be considered injuries, such as:
- You’re having stomach pains.
- Problems with your digestive system, such as nausea and vomiting are possible.
- Jaundice can be caused by problems with your liver.
- Fatigue
- Damage to your brain, which can result in mood swings, personality changes, and hazy vision.
- Changes in your cardiovascular system’s performance
