Zantac Can Increase Your Risk for Ovarian Cancer
Zantac is a medication that is used to reduce stomach acid, relieving symptoms of acid reflux and other gastroesophageal conditions. In April 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the removal of Zantac and generic ranitidine after the discovery of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the medication.
NDMA is a probable human carcinogen that can increase the risk of certain kinds of cancer, including ovarian cancer. Levels of NDMA increase over time and when Zantac is stored at higher than room temperature, making the medication especially dangerous.
Signs and Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer affects the ovaries in the female reproductive system. This cancer often goes undetected because it can be difficult to identify. Symptoms may be subtle at first and begin to worsen once the condition progresses. If you notice any signs that worry you, you should see a doctor right away.
Below are some of the most common symptoms of ovarian cancer:
- Fatigue
- Back pain
- Abdominal bloating
- Discomfort in the pelvic area
- Unexplained weight loss
- Feeling full after eating very little
- Changes in bowel movements
- Frequent urination
How to Prove a Lawsuit Against Zantac Manufacturers
If you used Zantac for at least one year and were diagnosed with ovarian cancer at least one year after you started taking it, you are likely to qualify for a Zantac lawsuit. By filing a claim, you can recover a settlement to help pay for medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
To successfully secure compensation from Zantac manufacturers, you will need to prove the following:
- You were diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
- Zantac is defective.
- Zantac’s defect caused your cancer.
- You used the medication as the manufacturer intended.
