Zantac was taken off the market because it lead to some cancers in some people who have taken the Zantac.

The medicine Zantac contained a cancer causing chemical and ingredient so it was pulled off the market.

Zantac is no longer available because it has caused cancer in some people who have taken it.

The cancer that Zantac can and has caused are cancers which include gastric and colorectal cancer.

Zantac is classified as a B2 carcinogen, meaning it is a probable human carcinogen that can cause cancer.

It is not safe to take Zantac as it has resulted in cancer in some patients who have taken the Zantac.

If you have Zantac at home you should destroy it and get rid of it or if you have gotten cancer from it and still have the Zantac package or leftover Zantac you may want to keep it for a lawsuit against Zantac.

Hopefully though you never get cancer from it.

If you do have any Zantac at home you should not take any of it because it's not worth risking getting cancer from it.

There are other more natural remedies for heartburn than taking Zantac.

I'd rather have the heartburn than cancer.

Zantac was taken off the market and recalled in 2019 because it has been linked to cancer in people taking the Zantac for heartburn.

The ingredient in Zantac that is supposed to cause cancer is ranitidine which has been linked to cancer.

Since Zantac Heart Burn medicine has been recalled any other ranitidine products will no longer be available for prescription or OTC use in the US.

Also as a result of the Zantac Recall due to cancer the FDA is also advising consumers taking OTC ranitidine to stop taking this medication, including any unused ranitidine medication they may still have at home.

It's not worth the risk and you can even file a lawsuit against Zantac if you have taken Zantac and have gotten cancer as a result of it.
