NDMA Is a Probable Human Carcinogen

(a substance that could cause cancer)

In April 2020, the FDA issued an immediate market withdrawal request for all prescription and over-the-counter versions of Zantac and generic ranitidine products because the drugs could contain high levels of NDMA, a chemical found to be a probable human carcinogen. Studies showed that NDMA levels in these products increase over time or when stored in higher temperatures.

Research is still being conducted to determine if NDMA in Zantac (ranitidine) is linked to bladder cancer, kidney cancer or kidney removal, breast cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, and prostate cancer.
