Generic ranitidine, sold under the popular brand name Zantac, is one of the most extensively used antacids in the United States. Zantac, available by prescription or without a prescription, is a histamine-2 blocker that reduces the amount of acid in the patient's stomach. As an H2 blocker, it is often used as a medicine for heartburn associated with stomach acid digestion. Zantac is also approved for the cure of ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disorder.

How was NDMA discovered in Zantac?

The EPA, FDA, and the WHO have classified NDMA as a carcinogen, and exposure to NDMA increases the risk of cancer. There are so many online pharmacies that found very high levels of NDMA, the active ingredient in Zantac, that increased cancer risk for those who were prescribed antacids or took them without a prescription.
