The FDA recently announced that the popular heartburn medicine Zantac contains low levels of a chemical referred to as NDMA. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the EPA, meaning that it could cause cancer. To be clear, NDMA was found in other heartburn drugs that contain ranitidine, not just Zantac. While Zantac’s manufacturer has not halted sales in the US, it has stopped shipping the drug and has issued a recall in India and Hong Kong. While the FDA has not issued a recall, this issue comes on the heels of its recall for the popular blood pressure drug, valsartan.
