Zantac

Zantac, also known by its generic name, ranitidine, is an over-the-counter heartburn and ulcer medication used by millions of Americans. Sanofi and other pharmaceutical companies recently had the drug pulled from store shelves after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discovered it contains an ingredient that has been labeled a probable carcinogen. N-nitrosodimethylamine, also known as NDMA, has been linked to diseases such as liver and stomach cancer. The amount of NDMA discovered in the FDA’s tests were thousands of times higher than the agency’s recommended daily dose. Although drug companies were aware of this, they chose not to disclose the information to their customers.

After news of the FDA’s findings were reported, retailers such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and others announced they were removing Zantac and other ranitidine products from their shelves.
