The FDA is underfunded and understaffed. There are thousands of pharmaceuticals coming every year and they don't have the ability to test them all. Also, politicians allow companies to do their own testing.
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea that Zantac could cause cancer. There were no warnings that I remember on the box. My husband complained of heartburn in early 2018 while we were stationed in Saudi Arabia. He was tested for H Pylori which was negative, and then he was given Zantac. He traveled over the summer and when he came back he went back to the doctor. She said that was too long for heartburn and sent him for tests. He had stomach cancer. He went through all the standard cancer treatments but passed away in 2022. He never drank or smoked, and was a pro golfer. I never knew how he could have gotten cancer. Maybe this is the reason.
250 million (Pfizer case) may sound like a lot but when you divide it by 10 thousand it comes to barely 25k (and that is before lawyer fees!). The company made billions and paid millions. This is why pharma companies keep doing this!
Sadly the corporations got Congress to let them call the company itself a person, so that the company has citizenship rights, can donate to Congressmen to get them reelected, and can be sued in cases like this…which allows the actual people behind making decisions free from being sued directly and losing everything. This is why people need to insist this changes.
Jail is never going to happen in a system that, by design, does everything possible to ensure the complete lack of accountability for the wealthy. If you really wish to see accountability for those involved here, you're going to have to go about that outside of the legal and governmental system.
funny how my dad was prescribed this in the 90's , got cancer in the mid 2000's and had to have most of his stomach removed just to spend the last 15 years of his life not able to eat or breath. he can't sue them. he'll never get justice.
it gets worse we are talking thousands of years of sickness these wealthy sick people that made the game have been in charge the things they do the power they have and their agenda is truly something that will change your life just a glimpse into the gravity of the situation can make you insane. calling us a human farm experiment is the most polite way to explain it.
What they were able to do during Covid should have opened everyone's eyes. They will stop your life, lock you down, and use government mandates to force you to take what is an expiramental vaccine advertised as a cure.
I had just started my internship after finishing MBBS when Zantac was found to be carcinogenic. It was used so widely, and almost every patient with the slightest acid reflux was being given Zantac. Every one of us was shocked that something like that was kept hidden. Immediately, it was stopped. But we always wondered how much damage was already done. Profits can make people monsters.
When I became pregnant, we assessed my meds. Many babies were born with birth defects in moms who took my sleep med, but one woman took more than me and her pregnancy and baby were really healthy, so I stayed on it. However, I was told my Paxil was safe, and 15 years later a doctor freaked out, "Paxil is one of the WORST meds to be on! It causes heart defects!" Wtf?! He is healthy, fortunately, but good GOD people! 😭🤬
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this only happened in 2019, did it not? By this time ranitidine had been for decades replaced with omeprasole, which in turn was phased out by esomeprasole in the 2000s. Or at least this was the case in my country - which had never been on the forefront of pharma, merely following European trends with some lag. Why would the US still use the outdated substance - or did it still have any advantages over newer ones?
I'm a medical transcriptionist. We always heard dictated files of doctors mentioning to not give Zantac, but it was always redacted.. All audio files mentioning the above were deleted.
do you want him to lose his job? he has no control over that dude, he is a low-level cog in the healthcare machine in fact, he would be sued into oblivion if he released any info bc it is ILLEGAL it is not his property to release@@foreverpainful
I was on Zantac for years, I developed 3 different cancers all at the same time in 2006, it was after that my Dr took me of Zantac saying there was a better drug that would help, he never said a word about the issues at all. The Dr who removed all of the cancer from me along with my right ovary could not understand how I got 3 different types of cancer all in the same area at the same time. One of them was very rare. Now I know and I’m peeved that my Dr who I had trusted since I was 16 lied to my face, I have since been placed on yet another type of medication for my reflux and it just does not work as well. I cannot even confront him as he passed away a few years ago. How are we meant to trust these people when they place $$$ over lives.
I don't think he knew. Been working in healthcare for 20 years and NEVER heard of this. It may have just been coincidence or speculation that caused him to change the meds. 2019 was when the pharmacist realized the MDMA was too high.
Umm drink acid cider vinegar before bed on an empty stomach Do this daily If you don’t like that drink kambucha every night before bed Get off the meds Change one of your meals to medium salad and up fiber
Please see a Functional MD or Naturopath, they are way more skilled at identifying root causes and fixing issues like this. Mine put me on some very helpful supplements and I still take Intestinal Support Complex powder on the rare occasion that I get gastritis type symptoms (alcohol is a major trigger for me but the root cause was SIBO).
The number of cases like this are miniscule compared to the number of drugs that can make your life better. The number of things that can fill your life with unending misery are limitless. We all take chances every day. It's hard to know which we SHOULD take and which we should not, but there's a high probability at least one thing you use every day is a carcinogen or increases cancer risk.
GERD isn't just an "uncomfortable symptom" it literally causes esophageal cancer. Fix the root issue causing it which either you've got a hiatus hernia that requires surgery or your diet full of processed foods causing it.
@@Martial-Mat My mom would never take Tylenol because of the perceived damage she thought It’d cause on the liver when infact, it doesn’t cause any harm unless you’re consecutively dosing every day for ten+ days in a row. I think people in general have a very twisted view on drugs which is a shame.
After taking Zantac for many years, I must now take acid suppliments for proper digestion because the zantac trained my body to shut down stomoch acid production. This drug Causes Disease…..
I think fines need to be done away with, and instead, jail time needs to be given to those in charge. It's ridiculous when a single life is snuffed out by one individual, they get jail time, but when lots of lives are taken away by a company, all they get is a fine.
They will be fine, because they are getting government money to continue operating. I know this because I work for a certain company that is sub-contracted by another company for a construction project to increase and improve the infrastructure at Sanofi here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sanofi has a brand new building going up for manufacturing vaccines. The Canadian government want them to have greater output of vaccines in case of another pandemic like Covid. So Sanofi received hundreds of millions of canadian dollars to expand their facilities. Federal and Provincial money. The construction had to stop for a day, a couple of months ago because Trudeau, Ford and the Toronto Mayor were paying a visit to see how the project was moving forward. These companies are too big to fail.
My doctor tried to get me to take this for my GERD. I refused because I'd heard somewhere that it can cause stomach ulcers or other issues. That was 15 years ago. I would have been on it constantly for years. I did try it once for a week or two, but it and others like it didn't help my GERD. I even had prescription meds which helped some, but weren't a solution. Sodium Bicarbonate... baking soda in pill form... was my fix. I have to take a lot, and I burp like crazy for 10 minutes. But it works so well. After years of taking them constantly every day, my PH level (urine and non-blood fluids) went from about 5 to 6.8, and I rarely get acid indigestion most days. It was kind of a miracle for me. And it wasn't a hard core drug, or even something considered a drug by most people... EDIT: Sodium bicarb is not, simply said, "just antacids". It's true but misses critical context. Most over the counter antacids are calcium bicarbonate. It is slower and gentler acting so that you don't have sudden and "violent" burping. You still burp, but it's not nearly as much. Also, they add some chalky fillers and extras that dilute how much of the active ingredient is in there. It's plenty for people with normal acid indigestion. It's not nearly enough for people with GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease). For an "antacid" to work for a GERD sufferer, it has to be much more of the active ingredient, and should generally be the more reactive sodium or potassium bicarbonate pills, which are 100% active ingredient, and are rarely sold on shelves (you can order online or ask the Pharmacist if they have something like "Rugby Sodium Bicarb", which is kept behind the counter for prescriptions, but does not require a prescription to buy, so they will sell it to you at the pharmacy counter if they have it.) The reason it's not normally sold directly on shelves like this is because it is overkill and unpleasant to use for a typical "once in a while" acid indigestion sufferer. The first time you use it, it will be deeply unpleasant, IMO. Also, I imagine makers of more complex and expensive pills like Zantac would also love for it to be hidden from shelves since it solves the problem better for cheaper.
one of the worst parts is the majority of people actually have too little acid, and that is whats coming back up, because the lid is affected, not there being too much acid smh

When pharma discovers a new drug and markets it like crazy, don't be the first to use it. Wait 15-20 years before all the negatives are worked out. Times change but pharma stays the same.
Man for about 4 months i was getting really bad heartburn. At first i had no idea what it was and i thought i was having a heart attack. A diet change and a shot of apple cider vinegar when it started flaring up fixed it. Haven't had heart burn in a few years now. Honestly it's hard for me to justify going to a doctor, because this is usually what you end up with. A drug that doesn't work, and lifelong complications after years of paying for it.
Ironically, a lot of heartburn is caused by low stomach acid, not high stomach acid. The PH of stomach acid is not acidic enough to cause the esophageal sphincter to close, allowing acid reflux. For many people, they ideally want to increase stomach acid. Using antacids will over time make the problem worse. Modern day diets have a lot to answer for. The only thing that gives me heartburn is something high in sugar. So, I no longer consume sugar and my chronic heartburn is gone.
Yuuup my brother suffered for 7 months lost more than 40 lbs because he couldn’t eat anything everything hurt and has horrible reflux antiacids made it worse turned out he had low acid. No doctor could figure it out. He did it on his own reading research papers apple cider vinegar, aloe lemon juice is what helped him recover
I used to also have chronic heartburn and Acid reflux, it was terrible. Then I changed my diet to a ketogenic diet with 70-80% fat and 20-30% protein. That was 3 years ago, no heartburn or reflux since, and I also lost 180 pounds and took up weekly cycling.
Yes......and there are soooo many examples of success out there with unfiltered apple cider vinegar ! Sounds counter intuitive, but it is very effective for so many people ! Other NATURAL remedies are around also....Do some research (not pharma research.....no money in it for them ) !
I think the PPI'S (PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS) Are even worse/more dangerous & many are sold 'over the counter'....like Prilosec....I would NEVER TAKE ANY OF THESE ! Please research Dangers (from actual patients/people).....not just what Mainstream Medical Institutes put out in media....before using them ! BTW LOW stomach acid as well as high....can aggravate Gerd/acid reflux!
I took this medicine for years and when it went off the market, it was painful, but I adjusted and I’m better off now than I was before Hoping the cancer doesn’t show up
@@hilaryb8807Exactly, and many of these people thinking they developed cancer from the drug would have been taking it for symptoms from the cancer that was there prior to starting the drug, there actually isn’t a way to prove any of these people developed cancer from the drug when they obviously started taking it due to gastrointestinal symptoms, I took it off and on for years, it was obvious, though, that the longer you took it, the more you needed, so then I would stop, and just take it for a few weeks at a time if symptoms were bad, one other issue, it’s recommended in the Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome community to take for potential Mast Cell Dysfunction, so now they just say take Pepcid, like if that can do the same thing then why wasn’t it recommended as an option to start, Pepcid doesn’t work as well for any symptoms I have, and gives me side effects Zantac didn’t, yet were supposed to trust it, the makers ofPepcid are sure making a ton of money since the old version of Zantac was removed, if it was still available I would take it when needed, all medications are chemicals, pretty sure none are good for the lining of anyone’s digestive tract, which is why diarrhea, constipation, and nausea are the main side effects of all drugs
Wow, I somehow missed that zantac was carcinogenic. I'm just so glad I didn't listen to my husband's mother. My youngest child had what was likely reflux as a baby. MIL pestered me to take my baby to the doctor for it and get a prescription so I took her. The doctor asked if I wanted a prescription for Zantac for my baby. I had been reading articles that said reflux may have to do with food allergies and possibly the way a mother eats and breastfeeds. I hired a lactation consultant who confirmed the changes in feeding and I went dairy free. My baby's reflux calmed down so she didn't get the Zantac prescription during her follow up appointment. My MIL was so prescription -happy and pushy. I'm so glad I trusted my gut and didn't listen to her.
I did all that and it still didn’t work for my son. It was the only thing as a baby that kept him from having major surgery. The cause is a birth defect in the muscle that controls the flap on the top of the stomach, so it doesn’t close all the way. My aunt had this but we didn’t know it was a family birth defect until Matthew was born. He outgrew it by age 2, but then he had to go back on it in the 9th grade, and finally outgrew it again at age 20 and could stop the medication. His only health issue right now is a vitamin D deficiency (Sept 2024).
@@schoolingdiana9086Hmm, I posted a reply and it disappeared. I was saying that I'm sorry your child has a birth defect that requires more than normal steps. I hope he doesn't turn up with the cancer mentioned in this video, the one caused by Zantac. Hopefully you're having him screened for it regularly.
I usually trust my immunity for small things like headache, bodyache, cold n cough etc. Instant relief for short term may result in instant regret in the long term.
For at least 4 years i used to pop antacid like candies for grastric ulcer from protracted dangerous fab diet plans in thru my 30s... . Despite popping it like candies i still ended up in ER a couple of times for gastric pain ... Then I came across a video a guy claimed that he cured his cancer with baking soda/soda bicarbonate. Since baking soda is natural salt and is alkaline based and no side effect . I decided to try using it and after 4 months stop taking Zantac and now is cured of gastric ulcer... 2) You will start hearing a new phenomena called Turbo Cancer ..New phenomena started in 2021 after the roll out of certain injectable ...
Heartburn runs in my family. My great aunt had it so bad, that her oesophagal tract had to be replaced with a titanium tube - the first surgery of its kind. You know what I do? Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (of the mother) in a glass of water. It's highly effective and won't kill you like gsk products. You're welcome.
Unfortunately no, they are not a legitimate pharmacy they consult with lawyers to sue for money. Everyone wants a slice of someone's pie. This drug is still prescribed in Canada btw...
@@YDfC21 Really?!??!?! Wow. I hope Canada does something about this! I live in Canada and it's scary to think of people using this while having NO IDEA it might give them cancer.
There are MANY pharmaceutical products with mandatory cold storage requirements. It’s surprising that the owners of the product did not adopt a cold storage requirement to limit the development of the carcinogenic compounds.
It mortifies me, as a retired nurse, at how many drugs we passed out that were deemed basically benign when it came to major issues and we're finding out it just isn't so. I will never fully trust the medical/pharmacy/govt oversight system again.
I was blessed to get a fellowship as an MSL after Pharmacy school and stability testing is supposed to be done pre-clinical trials. It’s crazy that this happened!
I changed my diet. No brown bread and wheat pasta. I also limit the amount of yeast and wheat flour in my diet. Significantly better now after years of pain.
Care to elaborate? I take nexium (chemist brand though ) Like my mum I have a crappy stomach and it's the only way I manage my symptoms since treating for h pylori (mum had zantac, she never got stomach cancer though)
@@naomimoran5564 Yeap. Viruses,Bacteria are the culprit for stomach ulcers. And these fckers die only with combined antibiotics course and they can also hide. Infection is usually detected using IggM antibodies in blood. You should drink ozonated water, eat Manuka Honey and a Lactoferrin supplement,a zinc supplement, along with whatever doctor prescribes
That's not as helpful as you might think if there's no data to show. Or if the data is skewed. Like it usually is. Look at how many people were in a hurry to put the covid shot in their vein, and still defend it to this day. Even though it had no research and it's probably going to cause problems.
Reminder not to self medicate in general. Only take NSAIDS when you need them and when the doctor says so. And if you no longer need them then don’t. I see people popping ibuprofen at slight headaches and they think i’m crazy when I say that’s not how they should be used.
They are effective tho. I needed to use aspirin for 2 months due to thromboflebits and none of the suplementations came close to its effects. It also does an irreversible inhibition so treatment stays permenant until you get flares. It destroys gut lining and change your gut biota tho you need to be careful when using it. Frequent nsaids due to islight things bad tho. Try not to take it for pain especially if it isnt too much to handle and paracetamol is always a safe choice. The less you use it the more effective it qill be
These companies sees this as the cost of doing business. They never get fined or sued for more than they made on product so they will always prioritize the profit. Unless descision makers get either put on jail or companies get fined all the profits plus more then they will just continue doing shitty things
I had a neighbor who had stomach problems for a long time. I'm guessing she was probably prescribed zantec, because she was under a doctor's care for her severe symptoms for years. Then she started telling me that it was getting worse, but she didn't think the doctor was taking her seriously. She thought he was tired of her complaining about her stomach. I think that's part of the problem in medicine, too. Doctors want to treat and be done, but if the condition isn't cured, they get frustrated and start getting the patient out the door quickly. My neighbor ended up finally being diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2010. She died in 2011. Her husband died a couple years later, and they didn't have children, so there no one to sue. And anyway, $25,000 doesn't pay for the cancer treatments. Even if it all went to the patients or their survivors, without deductions for legal fees, $25,000 is a drop in the bucket for all they had to pay just to deal with the cancer. As far as settlements go, that's the standard language. A settlement is avoidance of going to court for whatever reason. It's never an acknowledgement of guilt.
@@exosproudmamabear558 It can be solved. Swiss banks are super rigorous in their process and protocols, and so on. Can't be scammed with it. It's just that there are a lot of easy exploits for such drugs.

I find most people would rather take a medication then change their diet or lifestyle. I cured type 2 diabetis with a low carb diet. I got off the insulin. My numbers are good. I tell my diabetic friends and they just wanna keep taking their pills and shots. I still take pills for some things like blood pressure, because Diet and exercise didn't get it under control, although it did help my blood pressure get much better into normal range. I try to take as few medications as possible.
The fact that so many otc pills are actually serious and should not be seen as otc is insane. Same for supplements. Things should be regulated more. Not less. You can’t get your health back through a lawsuit.
if my doctor had his way Id still be type 2 diabetic on pills for it and the high blood pressure, the acid refflux and statins as well. Oh, and the anti-depressants he told me id be on for the rest of my life.
@@carpo719 You can learn alot by reading comments on youtube videos. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing unless you hear that anecdotal evidence over and over and over again. Then you know that the research is either not being done or is being hidden.
The best part of being a "conspiracy theorist" is not suddenly developing myocaditis, T-cell exhaustion, turbo cancer, Bell's palsy, lupis, POTS, autoimmune conditions, transverse myelitis, amyloidosis, chronic vertigo, Guillain-Barré syndrome, tinnitus, paralysis, sharp decrease in platelet levels, increased risk of mental disorders, thrombosis from strange long blood clots that look like white vien worms, vien spiders or grape jelly. On top of that contracting covid repeatedly with every single symptom increased. Metastasized Cancer. Lymphoma, Pancreatic, Lung and Skin all increasing and Turbo cancers. Even chain smoking, binge drinking and heavy drug addiction combined would take much longer to do much less damage to a healthy human body. The year elementary school children needed a pediatrician as well as a cardiologist and healthy athletes started collapsing on the field was the year the media should have been asking questions.
That's worthy of a screen shot. Well said! Sadly, nearly everyone I know prefer to believe the "accepted" narratives of our era; and I've watched most of them suffer dire consequences over the years for their refusal to do their own due diligence.
Wow, all of those things were here prior to COVID and the vaccines, there would have to be definite increases in them, do have actual research showing this for all these illnesses

Why I refuse to take “prescribed” medication. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, not surprised, but actually expected. As a horticulturist I basically bathed in glyphosate for more than ten years, at the time it was considered 100% safe, no warnings about skin contact or breathing it in. Since having a lumpectomy it seems to be past history….however post surgery the docs are trying to put me on the medication rabbit hole. Letrozole to make double triple sure it won’t come back, Fosomax to cure the bone thinning caused by the letrozole, heart scans because above drugs cause cardiovascular health risks. Currently as a healthy 66 year old (exercise daily, good diet, normal weight), I just want them to quit fixing what is really not broken.
The FDA is run by industry lawyers and advisers. The current FDA head, Robert Califf has been an adviser to all the giant pharma companies and has been paid 10s of thousands by them. There are conflicts of interest in just about every 'regulatory' organization in the US government. Holding them accountable is about as likely as the Pentagon passing an audit.
Hey I usually like you videos, but you really missed the mark here on getting the full story. As it currently stands, there has been 0 wins for anyone associated with this litigation in any jurisdiction. This is despite over 10 individual cases going to trial across the US. The ruling by the Florida judge, which was on 45k+, is called a Daubert ruling - it is a gatekeeping function. For any scientific expect to give testimony to the jury, the judge must find that the overall quality of the scientific opinion meets a (really quite low) bar of quality. This is so quacks in lab coats aren't presenting pet theories to juries. The Zantac trial failed to pass the Daubert ruling in FL - a shocking situation which sent all the stocks up. If this was really such a cut and dry case, they would have no problem passing this stage - it really is just a checkbox. Than most of these plaintiffs moved to Delaware, where a different judge, with the same evidence and experts, allowed it through the Daubert stage - saying her role was not as a gatekeeper, not on the basis of the evidence being shaky. Okay fine - the Florida judge got it wrong? Well the companies sought an extraordinary interlocutory appeal (just an immediate appeal), to the DE supreme court. This was unusually accepted a few days ago, which is very odd for a Daubert ruling. The trial judge is typically just given discretion here. A similar appeal was denied in FL. Is it just that the companies have much better, higher paid lawyers, than the ppl suing? I would argue the opposite - the plaintiffs lead lawyer is the same one that did Roundup - likely making $100s of millions for himself in the process of that case. Undeniably he is a great lawyer, and definitely making more than the defendants lawyers. This case is a similar sized opportunity for him. Finally, if you look at the science, there are real questions about if Zantac actually causes cancer. The increased NDMA due to temperature was not replicated in many other studies, and study that sited it was exposed a consistent amount of heat for extended period of time. No one's car gets over 150 degrees for 24 hours straight. Also NDMA is not even a known carcinogen - its is only a likely / suspected carcinogen. Don't forget the "daily recommended amount" was a finger in the air estimate by the FDA - it has never been properly studied what amount is safe. Overall, I don't know how this will play out in the end, but the companies have a real claim to be in the right here. Personally, I think that this might be a story of how the US court system is completely broken for these kinds of trials. Even if they don't pay out another dime, wasting years of their time and pressure on their stock price shows how the system is just broken.
I was prescribed Vioxx until it was pulled off the market. I was prescribed Zantac for pregnancy related heartburn. I was prescribed ciprofloxacin when it's black listed for people with my condition. I will never know if some of my disability is from the meds used. It's scary to think about. Ciprofloxacin is STILL used way too much and on people who can be seriously harmed by it. I suffer from a painful genetic disorder with lots of different symptoms that need to be controlled by medication in order for me to function in life, so I need Big Pharma to live, but I don't trust them.
A doctor tried to push this drug on me in the mid 90s! He gave me a shopping bag full of them, himself. Along with a prescription! While I took the bag, I never took the pill.
You should know the issue first I have sibo for example and it causes mcas and histamine intolerance I cant take vinegar at all. But yeah the more acid you give it the more it gets better. due to negative feedback unless you have ulcers then lemon juice and vinegar will open a hole in your stomach. I would suggest a more gentle aproach like marshmellow root, dgl licorice and slipery elm would be easier to stomach for patients with stomach issues. Also for ulsers to get better faster chitosan,panthenol(b5) and gentiana can help.

Acid reflux is commonly caused by open stomach valve that allows acid into the esophagus which can give false impression that stomach acid is stronger than it actually is due to the fact that esophagus is not designed to tolerate stomach acid. As weak stomach acid is a common cause of this open valve problem that I'm currently aware, taking an acid reducer in this situation would make acid even weaker, very possibly promoting poor protein breakdown in the stomach and therefore poor amino acid absorption in the body.
There were cisapride lawsuits too. My son was on zantac and cisapride as an infant, they gave him night terrors and so I stopped giving it to him, thank God
I used Zantac years _starting when I was 8 years old_ , as prescribed by my pediatrician. It was supposed to be “safer” for children. We would keep some of it in the car for me when we ate out. Which is great… Zantac wasn’t really effective for me. At the end of the day my heartburn was caused by an undiagnosed food intolerance (CSID) which needed a completely different treatment. So I didn’t even actually need Zantac and apparently have exposed myself to this risk.
if my doctor had his way Id still be type 2 diabetic on pills for it and the high blood pressure, the acid refflux and statins as well. Oh, and the anti-depressants he told me id be on for the rest of my life.

I was a Zantac user and now have cancer. I was suing Zantac, but my case was thrown out because we couldnt establish that Zantac causes my type of cancer.
It's important the individuals involved are held personally accountable as well, both civilly and criminally. These weasels see the whole thing as a game, while hiding behind their corporations.
This is one of those things I’m certainly worried about. I’m going to get a colonoscopy if I can before the year ends and will do so however often is recommended. Wonder if there’ll ever be a massive settlement that’ll cover monitoring for cancer.
And where is Prilosec (Famotadine) in this mess, I wonder? They were forced to use a black box warning on their company website (and on prescripton and OTC meds, packaging or info pamphlets) stating that patients/consumers should only take Prilosec for 2-4 weeks and discontinue. This was back in 2007 iirc (or 2017? Bad memory). Yet, I have multiple family members who were prescribed famotadine - basically permanently for regular use. My dad suffered from heartburn and esophageal ulceration. He was prescribed prilosec and had taken it for 6-8 months. That is much longer than the 2-4 week black box warning guideline. He passed away 2 yrs ago and doctors found liver cancer just before he passed, but refused to list liver cancer as a cause of death.
*As An Indian Viewer...I Can Only Say-What The Actual F?* I think the same thing is sold as "Rantac" in India...and I have seen it sold like cotton candy, not kidding. Example - There was some problem getting change at a drugstore, and then offered me Rantac's in lieu of cash. TBH this was a few years ago and maybe regulations have been tightened since then...but still...WTF?
I only took Zantac a short time after it was OTC, and only "as needed." Hopefully any ill effects bypass me. However thanks to it being pulled off the market, I did more research as to my acid-reflux. Turned out another well known "food" product was the cause: HFCS. The FDA and USDA are not doing their jobs.
Ranitidine is rarely used in my country and I am glad of that. But Americas first line of medication is always end up being shitty and dangerous for some reason(!)

Nothing worked better than Zantac for me in 1991. I had lots of anxiety and worries then that caused severe back pain and other secondary symptoms that were hard to diagnose. Seen many doctors in the West, then my cousin a doctor from Srilanka visited me and gave me some of those Zantac samples he had in his briefcase and within days all the symptoms were gone. He said Zantac and the Ibuprofen are less harmful than aspirin. He was one of those trial doctors in Srilanka at the time working with his prof. who was hired by GSK on testing this new wonder medicine for heart burns. Now I am older and have the typical chronic old age illnesses like BP, cholesterol, and onset diabetics and take the standard medicines prescribed by the doctor who in turn did not invented or did the research on these medicines, only drug pushers for the Pharma. I have come to a conclusion the modern GP care is a antiquated and structured for exploitation by Pharma. All these medicines that I take doesn't work against what has ageing is intended thorough evolution or your genes. AI can do better than these useless doctors you waste time to see them for 5 sec diagnosis and treatment.

The FDA was paid out, it's common to take them out to dinner before approving anything, FDA needs to be sued too.
The FDA is underfunded and understaffed. There are thousands of pharmaceuticals coming every year and they don't have the ability to test them all. Also, politicians allow companies to do their own testing.
👍👍👍👍👍
Big Pharma and the FDA play an insidious game of musical chairs with each other. Corporations control all three branches of government.
FDA is corrupt and should be abolished.
There's a revolving door between the FDA & Big pHARMa!
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea that Zantac could cause cancer. There were no warnings that I remember on the box. My husband complained of heartburn in early 2018 while we were stationed in Saudi Arabia. He was tested for H Pylori which was negative, and then he was given Zantac. He traveled over the summer and when he came back he went back to the doctor. She said that was too long for heartburn and sent him for tests. He had stomach cancer. He went through all the standard cancer treatments but passed away in 2022. He never drank or smoked, and was a pro golfer. I never knew how he could have gotten cancer. Maybe this is the reason.

250 million (Pfizer case) may sound like a lot but when you divide it by 10 thousand it comes to barely 25k (and that is before lawyer fees!). The company made billions and paid millions. This is why pharma companies keep doing this!

This is a slap on the wrist for most of these companies. Someone needs to go to

It’s the cost of doing business. They budget for fines.
Doctors are a Mafia
Sadly the corporations got Congress to let them call the company itself a person, so that the company has citizenship rights, can donate to Congressmen to get them reelected, and can be sued in cases like this…which allows the actual people behind making decisions free from being sued directly and losing everything.
This is why people need to insist this changes.
Don't worry we will see more meds that turnout to be very unsafe with no punishments.
Jail is never going to happen in a system that, by design, does everything possible to ensure the complete lack of accountability for the wealthy. If you really wish to see accountability for those involved here, you're going to have to go about that outside of the legal and governmental system.
funny how my dad was prescribed this in the 90's , got cancer in the mid 2000's and had to have most of his stomach removed just to spend the last 15 years of his life not able to eat or breath. he can't sue them. he'll never get justice.

I had just started my internship after finishing MBBS when Zantac was found to be carcinogenic. It was used so widely, and almost every patient with the slightest acid reflux was being given Zantac. Every one of us was shocked that something like that was kept hidden. Immediately, it was stopped. But we always wondered how much damage was already done. Profits can make people monsters.
When I became pregnant, we assessed my meds. Many babies were born with birth defects in moms who took my sleep med, but one woman took more than me and her pregnancy and baby were really healthy, so I stayed on it. However, I was told my Paxil was safe, and 15 years later a doctor freaked out, "Paxil is one of the WORST meds to be on! It causes heart defects!" Wtf?! He is healthy, fortunately, but good GOD people! 😭🤬
@@AshleySpeaks4Ubro that’s horrible, I hope that his heart will be good in the future! Glad they’re healthy now! ❤️

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this only happened in 2019, did it not? By this time ranitidine had been for decades replaced with omeprasole, which in turn was phased out by esomeprasole in the 2000s. Or at least this was the case in my country - which had never been on the forefront of pharma, merely following European trends with some lag. Why would the US still use the outdated substance - or did it still have any advantages over newer ones?
My husband starting taking Zantac in the 1980’s. He got cancer and died 30 years later…
Same with my Dad❤

I'm a medical transcriptionist. We always heard dictated files of doctors mentioning to not give Zantac, but it was always redacted.. All audio files mentioning the above were deleted.

I was on Zantac for years, I developed 3 different cancers all at the same time in 2006, it was after that my Dr took me of Zantac saying there was a better drug that would help, he never said a word about the issues at all. The Dr who removed all of the cancer from me along with my right ovary could not understand how I got 3 different types of cancer all in the same area at the same time. One of them was very rare.
Now I know and I’m peeved that my Dr who I had trusted since I was 16 lied to my face, I have since been placed on yet another type of medication for my reflux and it just does not work as well. I cannot even confront him as he passed away a few years ago.
How are we meant to trust these people when they place $$$ over lives.
I don't think he knew. Been working in healthcare for 20 years and NEVER heard of this. It may have just been coincidence or speculation that caused him to change the meds. 2019 was when the pharmacist realized the MDMA was too high.

Seems like a valid choice to me depending on what you’re trying to treat
The number of cases like this are miniscule compared to the number of drugs that can make your life better. The number of things that can fill your life with unending misery are limitless. We all take chances every day. It's hard to know which we SHOULD take and which we should not, but there's a high probability at least one thing you use every day is a carcinogen or increases cancer risk.
GERD isn't just an "uncomfortable symptom" it literally causes esophageal cancer. Fix the root issue causing it which either you've got a hiatus hernia that requires surgery or your diet full of processed foods causing it.
@@Martial-Mat My mom would never take Tylenol because of the perceived damage she thought It’d cause on the liver when infact, it doesn’t cause any harm unless you’re consecutively dosing every day for ten+ days in a row. I think people in general have a very twisted view on drugs which is a shame.

Sad reality is I will not be surprised at all that even if and when all those companies pay up they'll still be sitting on a huge pile of money.
Oh definitely
I think fines need to be done away with, and instead, jail time needs to be given to those in charge. It's ridiculous when a single life is snuffed out by one individual, they get jail time, but when lots of lives are taken away by a company, all they get is a fine.
They won't pay up. They'll declare bankruptcy and split into two companies one with all the liabilities and one with all the assets and money.
@@LogicallyAnsweredas long as people are talking about Mr Zantac and not the man behind the curtain nothing will be solved. You need names
They will be fine, because they are getting government money to continue operating. I know this because I work for a certain company that is sub-contracted by another company for a construction project to increase and improve the infrastructure at Sanofi here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sanofi has a brand new building going up for manufacturing vaccines. The Canadian government want them to have greater output of vaccines in case of another pandemic like Covid. So Sanofi received hundreds of millions of canadian dollars to expand their facilities. Federal and Provincial money. The construction had to stop for a day, a couple of months ago because Trudeau, Ford and the Toronto Mayor were paying a visit to see how the project was moving forward.
These companies are too big to fail.
Its cheaper to just pay the fines than make safe products
I'm old enough to have seen this issue play out with many medications, I never blindly trust anything prescribed.
Dont use any drug unless Bills Gate has used it for at least 20 years.
😂
My doctor tried to get me to take this for my GERD. I refused because I'd heard somewhere that it can cause stomach ulcers or other issues. That was 15 years ago. I would have been on it constantly for years. I did try it once for a week or two, but it and others like it didn't help my GERD. I even had prescription meds which helped some, but weren't a solution. Sodium Bicarbonate... baking soda in pill form... was my fix. I have to take a lot, and I burp like crazy for 10 minutes. But it works so well. After years of taking them constantly every day, my PH level (urine and non-blood fluids) went from about 5 to 6.8, and I rarely get acid indigestion most days. It was kind of a miracle for me. And it wasn't a hard core drug, or even something considered a drug by most people...
EDIT: Sodium bicarb is not, simply said, "just antacids". It's true but misses critical context. Most over the counter antacids are calcium bicarbonate. It is slower and gentler acting so that you don't have sudden and "violent" burping. You still burp, but it's not nearly as much. Also, they add some chalky fillers and extras that dilute how much of the active ingredient is in there. It's plenty for people with normal acid indigestion. It's not nearly enough for people with GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease). For an "antacid" to work for a GERD sufferer, it has to be much more of the active ingredient, and should generally be the more reactive sodium or potassium bicarbonate pills, which are 100% active ingredient, and are rarely sold on shelves (you can order online or ask the Pharmacist if they have something like "Rugby Sodium Bicarb", which is kept behind the counter for prescriptions, but does not require a prescription to buy, so they will sell it to you at the pharmacy counter if they have it.)
The reason it's not normally sold directly on shelves like this is because it is overkill and unpleasant to use for a typical "once in a while" acid indigestion sufferer. The first time you use it, it will be deeply unpleasant, IMO. Also, I imagine makers of more complex and expensive pills like Zantac would also love for it to be hidden from shelves since it solves the problem better for cheaper.
Glad to hear you were able to avoid Zantac man. Also, glad to hear you’re doing better!
Funnily enough, I use Baking Soda to increase my pool's alkalinity. Very useful and safe chemical.
Yep I also use Bi Carb soda for heart burn.
Funnily enough it’s one of the main ingredients in most anti acids medications, albeit the price.
Yup, basic chemistry. Sodium bicarbonate helps neutralise acid. Probably the CO2 you're burping out
@@Spartan-sz7km Yeah definitely. Just like a Volcano and vinegar.

Man for about 4 months i was getting really bad heartburn. At first i had no idea what it was and i thought i was having a heart attack. A diet change and a shot of apple cider vinegar when it started flaring up fixed it. Haven't had heart burn in a few years now. Honestly it's hard for me to justify going to a doctor, because this is usually what you end up with. A drug that doesn't work, and lifelong complications after years of paying for it.
With the right incentives the FDA would probably approve anything.
As they are going right now.
Covid vax, they sure did.
Gramma can’t. She died of cancer in 2009. Yes she used that. 😢The cancer just was all through her intestines.
This is premeditated murder.
Ironically, a lot of heartburn is caused by low stomach acid, not high stomach acid. The PH of stomach acid is not acidic enough to cause the esophageal sphincter to close, allowing acid reflux. For many people, they ideally want to increase stomach acid. Using antacids will over time make the problem worse.
Modern day diets have a lot to answer for. The only thing that gives me heartburn is something high in sugar. So, I no longer consume sugar and my chronic heartburn is gone.
People be eating way to much fast food
Yuuup my brother suffered for 7 months lost more than 40 lbs because he couldn’t eat anything everything hurt and has horrible reflux antiacids made it worse turned out he had low acid. No doctor could figure it out. He did it on his own reading research papers apple cider vinegar, aloe lemon juice is what helped him recover
I used to also have chronic heartburn and Acid reflux, it was terrible. Then I changed my diet to a ketogenic diet with 70-80% fat and 20-30% protein. That was 3 years ago, no heartburn or reflux since, and I also lost 180 pounds and took up weekly cycling.
Yes......and there are soooo many examples of success out there with unfiltered apple cider vinegar ! Sounds counter intuitive, but it is very effective for so many people ! Other NATURAL remedies are around also....Do some research (not pharma research.....no money in it for them ) !
I think the PPI'S (PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS) Are even worse/more dangerous & many are sold 'over the counter'....like Prilosec....I would NEVER TAKE ANY OF THESE ! Please research Dangers (from actual patients/people).....not just what Mainstream Medical Institutes put out in media....before using them ! BTW LOW stomach acid as well as high....can aggravate Gerd/acid reflux!

Problem is, untreated reflux can lead to esophageal cancer.
@@hilaryb8807Exactly, and many of these people thinking they developed cancer from the drug would have been taking it for symptoms from the cancer that was there prior to starting the drug, there actually isn’t a way to prove any of these people developed cancer from the drug when they obviously started taking it due to gastrointestinal symptoms, I took it off and on for years, it was obvious, though, that the longer you took it, the more you needed, so then I would stop, and just take it for a few weeks at a time if symptoms were bad, one other issue, it’s recommended in the Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome community to take for potential Mast Cell Dysfunction, so now they just say take Pepcid, like if that can do the same thing then why wasn’t it recommended as an option to start, Pepcid doesn’t work as well for any symptoms I have, and gives me side effects Zantac didn’t, yet were supposed to trust it, the makers ofPepcid are sure making a ton of money since the old version of Zantac was removed, if it was still available I would take it when needed, all medications are chemicals, pretty sure none are good for the lining of anyone’s digestive tract, which is why diarrhea, constipation, and nausea are the main side effects of all drugs
Wow, I somehow missed that zantac was carcinogenic. I'm just so glad I didn't listen to my husband's mother. My youngest child had what was likely reflux as a baby. MIL pestered me to take my baby to the doctor for it and get a prescription so I took her. The doctor asked if I wanted a prescription for Zantac for my baby. I had been reading articles that said reflux may have to do with food allergies and possibly the way a mother eats and breastfeeds. I hired a lactation consultant who confirmed the changes in feeding and I went dairy free. My baby's reflux calmed down so she didn't get the Zantac prescription during her follow up appointment.
My MIL was so prescription -happy and pushy. I'm so glad I trusted my gut and didn't listen to her.
I did all that and it still didn’t work for my son. It was the only thing as a baby that kept him from having major surgery. The cause is a birth defect in the muscle that controls the flap on the top of the stomach, so it doesn’t close all the way. My aunt had this but we didn’t know it was a family birth defect until Matthew was born. He outgrew it by age 2, but then he had to go back on it in the 9th grade, and finally outgrew it again at age 20 and could stop the medication. His only health issue right now is a vitamin D deficiency (Sept 2024).

Daily reminder to read about prescribed drugs before taking them. NSAIDs suck.
That's not as helpful as you might think if there's no data to show. Or if the data is skewed. Like it usually is. Look at how many people were in a hurry to put the covid shot in their vein, and still defend it to this day. Even though it had no research and it's probably going to cause problems.

Ye whenever im sick and THINK of taking some of them and am at the store reading up on them im like......people take this??? Over the counter?
Reminder not to self medicate in general. Only take NSAIDS when you need them and when the doctor says so. And if you no longer need them then don’t. I see people popping ibuprofen at slight headaches and they think i’m crazy when I say that’s not how they should be used.
They are effective tho. I needed to use aspirin for 2 months due to thromboflebits and none of the suplementations came close to its effects. It also does an irreversible inhibition so treatment stays permenant until you get flares. It destroys gut lining and change your gut biota tho you need to be careful when using it. Frequent nsaids due to islight things bad tho. Try not to take it for pain especially if it isnt too much to handle and paracetamol is always a safe choice. The less you use it the more effective it qill be

I had a neighbor who had stomach problems for a long time. I'm guessing she was probably prescribed zantec, because she was under a doctor's care for her severe symptoms for years. Then she started telling me that it was getting worse, but she didn't think the doctor was taking her seriously. She thought he was tired of her complaining about her stomach. I think that's part of the problem in medicine, too. Doctors want to treat and be done, but if the condition isn't cured, they get frustrated and start getting the patient out the door quickly. My neighbor ended up finally being diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2010. She died in 2011. Her husband died a couple years later, and they didn't have children, so there no one to sue. And anyway, $25,000 doesn't pay for the cancer treatments. Even if it all went to the patients or their survivors, without deductions for legal fees, $25,000 is a drop in the bucket for all they had to pay just to deal with the cancer.
As far as settlements go, that's the standard language. A settlement is avoidance of going to court for whatever reason. It's never an acknowledgement of guilt.
The issue is the method for testing is inadequate, and how rigorous the safety standards are is not adequate.
Now consider all the shots they put into people over the last few years, which have even less research.
Doesnt matter how rigorous the testing once you start purging statistics reality can become anything you like like statins for example

One of my best friends took zantac over the counter and developed throat cancer and he died 2 years ago i miss him everyday im now a stepdad to his 2 kids and when we filed to be apart of the class action his case was denied because he had no receipts from purchasing the zantac no kids are now without their dad and our whole family is still mourning the loss

I find most people would rather take a medication then change their diet or lifestyle. I cured type 2 diabetis with a low carb diet. I got off the insulin. My numbers are good. I tell my diabetic friends and they just wanna keep taking their pills and shots. I still take pills for some things like blood pressure, because Diet and exercise didn't get it under control, although it did help my blood pressure get much better into normal range. I try to take as few medications as possible.
I think your friends are driven to avoid the discomfort change requires.
They are addicts to their bad diets, yet they are not treated as addicts...
Great job on getting your diabetes under control! 💪💪
One professor of mine who suffered from high bp during his PhD told me that he started taking coffee without caffeine and it solved all his problems.

That was a public service announcement.
Thank you!
Best way is to live healthy and avoid any kind of medications.
My dad died of liver cancer, he took Zantac for years. I miss him.
I took this medication for 20+ yrs, I'm now showing signs of cancer and CHF
I took this for over a decade. I'm not sick yet.
As long as you understand that a n=1 sample size is anecdotal and not scientific.
Wow. Way to get lucky!
The fact that so many otc pills are actually serious and should not be seen as otc is insane. Same for supplements. Things should be regulated more. Not less. You can’t get your health back through a lawsuit.
this is why you should investigate what you put in your body before you put it, and not just blindly trust what your doctor says.
if my doctor had his way Id still be type 2 diabetic on pills for it and the high blood pressure, the acid refflux and statins as well. Oh, and the anti-depressants he told me id be on for the rest of my life.
If there's no evidence to research how can you know
@@carpo719……don’t put stuff in your body unless youre Certain it won’t harm you.

@@carpo719 You can learn alot by reading comments on youtube videos. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing unless you hear that anecdotal evidence over and over and over again. Then you know that the research is either not being done or is being hidden.
The problem is that there was nothing about this 15 years ago when I took ranitidine.
The best part of being a "conspiracy theorist" is not suddenly developing myocaditis, T-cell exhaustion, turbo cancer, Bell's palsy, lupis, POTS, autoimmune conditions, transverse myelitis, amyloidosis, chronic vertigo, Guillain-Barré syndrome, tinnitus, paralysis, sharp decrease in platelet levels, increased risk of mental disorders, thrombosis from strange long blood clots that look like white vien worms, vien spiders or grape jelly. On top of that contracting covid repeatedly with every single symptom increased. Metastasized Cancer. Lymphoma, Pancreatic, Lung and Skin all increasing and Turbo cancers.
Even chain smoking, binge drinking and heavy drug addiction combined would take much longer to do much less damage to a healthy human body. The year elementary school children needed a pediatrician as well as a cardiologist and healthy athletes started collapsing on the field was the year the media should have been asking questions.
That's worthy of a screen shot. Well said! Sadly, nearly everyone I know prefer to believe the "accepted" narratives of our era; and I've watched most of them suffer dire consequences over the years for their refusal to do their own due diligence.
myocarditis i guess too but lupus? what are you even talking about

I used to take zantac as a teenager… I have ibs now
Why I refuse to take “prescribed” medication. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, not surprised, but actually expected. As a horticulturist I basically bathed in glyphosate for more than ten years, at the time it was considered 100% safe, no warnings about skin contact or breathing it in. Since having a lumpectomy it seems to be past history….however post surgery the docs are trying to put me on the medication rabbit hole. Letrozole to make double triple sure it won’t come back, Fosomax to cure the bone thinning caused by the letrozole, heart scans because above drugs cause cardiovascular health risks. Currently as a healthy 66 year old (exercise daily, good diet, normal weight), I just want them to quit fixing what is really not broken.
Its the FDA that should be sued....
They should be sued too they have been getting out of track these days
The FDA is run by industry lawyers and advisers. The current FDA head, Robert Califf has been an adviser to all the giant pharma companies and has been paid 10s of thousands by them. There are conflicts of interest in just about every 'regulatory' organization in the US government. Holding them accountable is about as likely as the Pentagon passing an audit.
Hey I usually like you videos, but you really missed the mark here on getting the full story. As it currently stands, there has been 0 wins for anyone associated with this litigation in any jurisdiction. This is despite over 10 individual cases going to trial across the US. The ruling by the Florida judge, which was on 45k+, is called a Daubert ruling - it is a gatekeeping function. For any scientific expect to give testimony to the jury, the judge must find that the overall quality of the scientific opinion meets a (really quite low) bar of quality. This is so quacks in lab coats aren't presenting pet theories to juries.
The Zantac trial failed to pass the Daubert ruling in FL - a shocking situation which sent all the stocks up. If this was really such a cut and dry case, they would have no problem passing this stage - it really is just a checkbox. Than most of these plaintiffs moved to Delaware, where a different judge, with the same evidence and experts, allowed it through the Daubert stage - saying her role was not as a gatekeeper, not on the basis of the evidence being shaky. Okay fine - the Florida judge got it wrong? Well the companies sought an extraordinary interlocutory appeal (just an immediate appeal), to the DE supreme court. This was unusually accepted a few days ago, which is very odd for a Daubert ruling. The trial judge is typically just given discretion here. A similar appeal was denied in FL.
Is it just that the companies have much better, higher paid lawyers, than the ppl suing? I would argue the opposite - the plaintiffs lead lawyer is the same one that did Roundup - likely making $100s of millions for himself in the process of that case. Undeniably he is a great lawyer, and definitely making more than the defendants lawyers. This case is a similar sized opportunity for him.
Finally, if you look at the science, there are real questions about if Zantac actually causes cancer. The increased NDMA due to temperature was not replicated in many other studies, and study that sited it was exposed a consistent amount of heat for extended period of time. No one's car gets over 150 degrees for 24 hours straight. Also NDMA is not even a known carcinogen - its is only a likely / suspected carcinogen. Don't forget the "daily recommended amount" was a finger in the air estimate by the FDA - it has never been properly studied what amount is safe.
Overall, I don't know how this will play out in the end, but the companies have a real claim to be in the right here. Personally, I think that this might be a story of how the US court system is completely broken for these kinds of trials. Even if they don't pay out another dime, wasting years of their time and pressure on their stock price shows how the system is just broken.
I was prescribed Vioxx until it was pulled off the market. I was prescribed Zantac for pregnancy related heartburn. I was prescribed ciprofloxacin when it's black listed for people with my condition.
I will never know if some of my disability is from the meds used. It's scary to think about. Ciprofloxacin is STILL used way too much and on people who can be seriously harmed by it.
I suffer from a painful genetic disorder with lots of different symptoms that need to be controlled by medication in order for me to function in life, so I need Big Pharma to live, but I don't trust them.
Well…. That explains why I didn’t see it at the store anymore…..
A doctor tried to push this drug on me in the mid 90s! He gave me a shopping bag full of them, himself. Along with a prescription! While I took the bag, I never took the pill.
Apple cider vinegar + lemon juice + ginger extract
You should know the issue first I have sibo for example and it causes mcas and histamine intolerance I cant take vinegar at all. But yeah the more acid you give it the more it gets better. due to negative feedback unless you have ulcers then lemon juice and vinegar will open a hole in your stomach. I would suggest a more gentle aproach like marshmellow root, dgl licorice and slipery elm would be easier to stomach for patients with stomach issues. Also for ulsers to get better faster chitosan,panthenol(b5) and gentiana can help.
@@exosproudmamabear558 interesting. I prefer natural but is it profitable?
@@daffidkane8350 I dont understand what are you saying. I am a patient not a seller and all of the compounds I am talking about natural stuff, they are literrally herbs and suplementations not medicine.

It is reminiscent of what is happening in the grocery industry in Norway.
What happened I wanna know.
When they are delivered to stores by trucks, the heat inside those trucks are very hot; especially in the summer in the west states.
Acid reflux is commonly caused by open stomach valve that allows acid into the esophagus which can give false impression that stomach acid is stronger than it actually is due to the fact that esophagus is not designed to tolerate stomach acid. As weak stomach acid is a common cause of this open valve problem that I'm currently aware, taking an acid reducer in this situation would make acid even weaker, very possibly promoting poor protein breakdown in the stomach and therefore poor amino acid absorption in the body.
There were cisapride lawsuits too. My son was on zantac and cisapride as an infant, they gave him night terrors and so I stopped giving it to him, thank God
FDA is probably more than any other federal agency - and that's some stiff competition!
I used Zantac years _starting when I was 8 years old_ , as prescribed by my pediatrician. It was supposed to be “safer” for children. We would keep some of it in the car for me when we ate out. Which is great…
Zantac wasn’t really effective for me. At the end of the day my heartburn was caused by an undiagnosed food intolerance (CSID) which needed a completely different treatment. So I didn’t even actually need Zantac and apparently have exposed myself to this risk.
Zantac was the most effective antacid i ever took. Its a shame they were not able to make a shelf stable version.
They were: Famotidine
Did you get cancer?
Asking a corrupt body to put more regulations in place will not do any good.
It would be safer if they included MDMA... it's so weird what and how our modern society considers "safe & acceptable"?
This explains why my Pappy passed away. He was completely healthy otherwise.
if my doctor had his way Id still be type 2 diabetic on pills for it and the high blood pressure, the acid refflux and statins as well. Oh, and the anti-depressants he told me id be on for the rest of my life.
I'm guessing here, based on my own personal experience, but are you a member of P.E.T.A., People eating tasty animals? Usually without plants and with lots of lard and tallow?
I was a Zantac user and now have cancer. I was suing Zantac, but my case was thrown out because we couldnt establish that Zantac causes my type of cancer.
The lawsuits are a race to the bottom. If you are suing based on a TV commercial you are just a pawn for greedy lawyers.
What type? I’m so sorry.
Oops, i am still taking ranitidine. Have been taking it for years. I am just aware of the issue after watching this video 😮
Wow! Hope you don't get cancer!
It's important the individuals involved are held personally accountable as well, both civilly and criminally. These weasels see the whole thing as a game, while hiding behind their corporations.
Dude. I took so much of this in college 💀
Oof well good luck
BRING BACK THE ROBERT GOLDWATER RECALL COMMERCIALS!
Wow never knew this. I use to take Zantac regularly for years for heartburn before it was no longer available on the shelve. 😳
This is one of those things I’m certainly worried about. I’m going to get a colonoscopy if I can before the year ends and will do so however often is recommended. Wonder if there’ll ever be a massive settlement that’ll cover monitoring for cancer.
my mom used to take this all the time. crazy
Oof 😬
And where is Prilosec (Famotadine) in this mess, I wonder? They were forced to use a black box warning on their company website (and on prescripton and OTC meds, packaging or info pamphlets) stating that patients/consumers should only take Prilosec for 2-4 weeks and discontinue. This was back in 2007 iirc (or 2017? Bad memory). Yet, I have multiple family members who were prescribed famotadine - basically permanently for regular use. My dad suffered from heartburn and esophageal ulceration. He was prescribed prilosec and had taken it for 6-8 months. That is much longer than the 2-4 week black box warning guideline. He passed away 2 yrs ago and doctors found liver cancer just before he passed, but refused to list liver cancer as a cause of death.
I agree with everything you say about Prilosec, except I think Prilosec is Omeprazole.
Famotidine doesn't degrade into NDMA so doesn't have the problem
*As An Indian Viewer...I Can Only Say-What The Actual F?*
I think the same thing is sold as "Rantac" in India...and I have seen it sold like cotton candy, not kidding.
Example - There was some problem getting change at a drugstore, and then offered me Rantac's in lieu of cash.
TBH this was a few years ago and maybe regulations have been tightened since then...but still...WTF?
Countries like India and the US suvk when it comes to public health. We need European standards for health issues
I only took Zantac a short time after it was OTC, and only "as needed." Hopefully any ill effects bypass me. However thanks to it being pulled off the market, I did more research as to my acid-reflux. Turned out another well known "food" product was the cause: HFCS. The FDA and USDA are not doing their jobs.
I was on ratidine for years as a kid. I've been worried about this for ages now.
Ranitidine is rarely used in my country and I am glad of that. But Americas first line of medication is always end up being shitty and dangerous for some reason(!)

They are all bad, cause dementia too
Nothing worked better than Zantac for me in 1991. I had lots of anxiety and worries then that caused severe back pain and other secondary symptoms that were hard to diagnose. Seen many doctors in the West, then my cousin a doctor from Srilanka visited me and gave me some of those Zantac samples he had in his briefcase and within days all the symptoms were gone. He said Zantac and the Ibuprofen are less harmful than aspirin.
He was one of those trial doctors in Srilanka at the time working with his prof. who was hired by GSK on testing this new wonder medicine for heart burns. Now I am older and have the typical chronic old age illnesses like BP, cholesterol, and onset diabetics and take the standard medicines prescribed by the doctor who in turn did not invented or did the research on these medicines, only drug pushers for the Pharma.
I have come to a conclusion the modern GP care is a antiquated and structured for exploitation by Pharma. All these medicines that I take doesn't work against what has ageing is intended thorough evolution or your genes.
AI can do better than these useless doctors you waste time to see them for 5 sec diagnosis and treatment.
Bottomline they want your money.
