Zantac NDMA Contamination: What’s the Risk?
If you’ve taken Zantac, you should know that the FDA has warned that Zantac is contaminated with NDMA — a potentially cancer-causing chemical. Zantac NDMA contamination was first discovered by an independent lab in late 2019 and the FDA has since confirmed its findings. A full Zantac recall has been issued.
Zantac NDMA Contamination and Serious Cancer Risks
Is Zantac dangerous? What is the risk of Zantac NDMA contamination?
According to the FDA, lab tests have found “unacceptable” levels of NDMA in Zantac and generic ranitidine. In fact, the FDA’s limit for NDMA levels in pharmaceuticals is 96 ng, but tests have revealed levels of NDMA in Zantac at more than 40,000 ng.
These Zantac NDMA contamination level are alarming to say the least.
NDMA contamination in Zantac presents a serious and potentially life-threatening risk for those taking Zantac or ranitidine either over the counter (OTC) or by prescription.
NDMA is a recognized “probable carcinogen,” meaning that organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) have determined that the chemical may cause cancer in humans.
The cancer risk posed by Zantac NDMA contamination was called “unacceptable” by the FDA in a recent warning issued to consumers.
NDMA contamination’s cancer risk is well known. In fact, NDMA is used by researchers to cause cancer in rats in scientific studies.
