There's a reason why nearly 100% of meds advertised on television has warnings that side effects could increase your chances for cancers. I know from experience that diet DOES matter.

That's true, and it's really shocking. All these medications that are meant to either cure us or ease our diseases and distresses have such potential for killing us in the process. Here's the latest on Zantac which is for acid reflux and other stomach related issues. This doesn't even mention all the potential diseases it can cause.  

 

FDA Updates and Press Announcements on NDMA in Zantac (ranitidine)

Update [1/8/2020] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to two voluntary recalls of ranitidine. The medicines are being recalled because they may contain unacceptable levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

  • Appco Pharma LLC is voluntarily recalling prescription ranitidine hydrochloride capsules.
  • Northwind Pharmaceuticals is voluntarily recalling prescription ranitidine tablets (150 mg and 300 mg), manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceutical Inc.

FDA has advised companies to recall their ranitidine if testing shows levels of NDMA above the acceptable daily intake (96 nanograms per day or 0.32 parts per million for ranitidine). The agency posted the results of its testing of ranitidine samples and has asked companies to conduct their own laboratory testing.

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Multiple drugs are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine.

 

 

Update [1/8/2020]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting health care professionals and consumers to Mylan’s voluntary recall of prescription nizatidine capsules. The medicines may contain unacceptable levels of the nitrosamine, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Nizatidine is a commonly prescribed antacid.
 
NDMA is a known environmental contaminant found in water and certain foods. Genotoxic substances such as NDMA may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time, but a person taking a drug that contains NDMA at-or-below the acceptable daily intake limit every day for 70 years is not expected to have an increased risk of cancer.
 
In September 2019, FDA announced it had become aware of laboratory testing that found low levels of NDMA in the heartburn medicine, ranitidine, which is chemically similar to nizatidine. FDA has been testing samples of both ranitidine and nizatidine.  The agency has also asked manufacturers of the drugs to conduct their own laboratory testing to assess levels of NDMA in their products and to send samples to FDA to be tested by our scientists. FDA will recommend recalls to manufacturers of ranitidine and nizatidine with NDMA levels above the acceptable daily intake limit (96 nanograms per day).
 
There are multiple drugs that are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine and nizatidine. Patients taking prescription ranitidine or nizatidine who wish to stop use should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. If you are taking one of the recalled medicines, you should follow the recall instructions provided by the company. This information is on the FDA’s website.
 
FDA has been investigating NDMA and other nitrosamine impurities in blood pressure and heart failure medicines called Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) since 2018. FDA has recommended numerous recalls of ARBs as it discovered unacceptable levels of nitrosamines.
 
FDA is committed to helping assure the medicines Americans take are safe and effective. When we identify lapses in the quality of drugs that pose potential risks for patients, FDA makes every effort to understand the issues and provide our best recommendation to the public as quickly and accurately as possible.
 
FDA will continue to investigate and work to make certain these types of impurities do not exceed acceptable limits, so that patients can continue taking their medicines without concern. The agency will provide timely updates throughout the investigation.
FDA encourages health care professionals and patients to report adverse reactions or quality problems with any human drugs to the agency’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program:

 

 

Update [12/18/2019] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to Glenmark Pharmaceutical Inc.’s voluntary recall of prescription ranitidine tablets (150 mg and 300 mg). The medicines are being recalled because they may contain unacceptable levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

FDA has advised companies to recall their ranitidine if testing shows levels of NDMA above the acceptable daily intake (96 nanograms per day or 0.32 parts per million for ranitidine). The agency posted the results of its testing of ranitidine samples and has asked companies to conduct their own laboratory testing.

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Multiple drugs are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine.

 

 

Update [12/4/2019] Over the past several weeks, FDA has communicated about the detection of an impurity known as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in common heartburn medications (ranitidine, commonly known as Zantac, and nizatidine) available over the counter or by prescription. We have launched an investigation to understand the cause of this impurity in these drugs and to provide information for patients and consumers who take them. As part of this investigation, we have asked manufacturers to conduct their own laboratory testing to examine levels of NDMA in ranitidine and nizatidine and to send us samples to be tested by our scientists.

Today, we are announcing that we have asked manufacturers of ranitidine and nizatidine products to expand their testing for NDMA to include all lots of the medication before making them available to consumers. If testing shows NDMA above the acceptable daily intake limit (96 nanograms per day or 0.32 parts per million for ranitidine), the manufacturer must inform the agency and should not release the lot for consumer use.

We continue to work with industry and regulatory agencies around the world to determine the reasons for NDMA in these drugs and have developed and posted multiple testing methods to identify NDMA in ranitidine. Our scientists have determined ranitidine does not form NDMA in typical stomach conditions. However, we need further investigation to fully test how ranitidine and nizatidine behave in the human body and have plans to study this. There is also some evidence that there may be a link between the presence of nitrites and the formation of NDMA in the body if ranitidine or nizatidine is also present. Because of this, consumers who wish to continue taking these drugs should consider limiting their intake of nitrite-containing foods, e.g. processed meats and preservatives like sodium nitrite.

Consumers may also consider alternative treatments that are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine and nizatidine. To date, FDA’s testing has not found NDMA in Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine), Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole), or Prilosec (omeprazole).

 

 

Update [11/22/2019] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to two repackagers’ voluntary recalls of ranitidine. The medicines are being recalled because they may contain unacceptable levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

FDA has advised companies to recall their ranitidine if testing shows levels of NDMA above the acceptable daily intake (96 nanograms per day or 0.32 parts per million for ranitidine).

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Multiple drugs are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine.
 
Consumers taking over-the-counter (OTC) ranitidine may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition. FDA’s tests of samples of alternatives such as Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine), Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole) and Prilosec (omeprazole) show no NDMA in the medicines to date.
 
 

 

Update [11/12/2019] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to two voluntary recalls of ranitidine.

Update [11/8/2019] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to a voluntary recall of over-the-counter (OTC) ranitidine tablets (150mg), prescription ranitidine capsules (150mg and 300mg) and ranitidine syrup (15mg/mL) manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma USA. These medications contain unacceptable levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

FDA has advised companies to recall their ranitidine if testing shows levels of NDMA above the acceptable daily intake (96 nanograms per day or 0.32 parts per million for ranitidine).

Consumers may not know if the OTC ranitidine in their homes contains NDMA above the acceptable daily intake level because these recalls have been to the retail level, meaning they were only removed from store shelves. The NDMA levels FDA found are similar to the levels a consumer would expect to be exposed to when eating common foods like grilled and smoked meats.

Consumers taking OTC ranitidine may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition. FDA’s tests of samples of alternatives such as Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine), Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole) and Prilosec (omeprazole) show no NDMA in the medicines to date.

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Multiple drugs are approved for the same or similar uses as ranitidine.

 

 

 

 

Update [10/28/19] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting health care professionals and patients to three voluntary recalls of ranitidine.

Refer to the FDA’s recalls webpage for up-to-date information about recalls of ranitidine.

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Consumers taking OTC ranitidine, which is used to prevent and relieve heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach, may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition. FDA’s testing of samples of alternatives such as Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine), Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole), and Prilosec (omeprazole) show no NDMA in these medicines.

 

 

Update [10/23/19] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is releasing a second liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC- MS) method for manufacturers and regulators to detect and quantify NDMA in ranitidine. The agency is using this method to test potential NDMA-containing ranitidine samples. The second LC-MS method for NDMA in ranitidine uses a more widely available technology than the first posted method. The agency is sharing the second method to provide alternatives to firms wishing to test their drug products for NDMA.

FDA is also alerting health care professionals and patients to two voluntary recalls of ranitidine:

Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to stop should talk to their health care professional about other treatment options. Consumers taking OTC ranitidine, which is used to prevent and relieve heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach, may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition. FDA’s preliminary tests of alternatives such as Pepcid (famotidine), Tagamet (cimetidine), Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole), and Prilosec (omeprazole) show no NDMA in these tested medicines at this time.

FDA continues to evaluate the safety of ranitidine and will provide more information as it becomes available. See Questions and Answers: NDMA impurities in ranitidine (commonly known as Zantac) for more information.

 

 

Update [10/2/19] FDA is continuing to test ranitidine products from multiple manufacturers and is assessing the potential impact on patients who have been taking ranitidine. In addition, the agency has asked manufacturers of ranitidine to conduct their own laboratory testing to assess levels of NDMA in their ranitidine products and to send samples of ranitidine products to FDA to be tested by our scientists.

FDA observed the testing method used by a third-party laboratory uses higher temperatures. The higher temperatures generated very high levels of NDMA from ranitidine products because of the test procedure. FDA published the method for testing angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) for nitrosamine impurities. That method is not suitable for testing ranitidine because heating the sample generates NDMA.

FDA recommends using an LC-HRMS testing protocol to test samples of ranitidine. FDA’s LC-HRMS testing method does not use elevated temperatures and has shown the presence of much lower levels of NDMA in ranitidine medicines than reported by the third-party laboratory. International regulators using similar LC-MS testing methods have also shown the presence of low levels of NDMA in ranitidine samples.

FDA will test ranitidine oral solution products and has begun testing samples of other H2 blockers and proton-pump inhibitors to help inform this ongoing investigation. To date, the agency’s early, limited testing has found unacceptable levels of NDMA in samples of ranitidine. The agency will provide more information as it becomes available.

 

 

[9/26/19] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting health care professionals and patients to a voluntary recall of over-the-counter (OTC) ranitidine tablets (75 mg and 150 mg), labeled by Walgreens, Walmart, and Rite-Aid and manufactured by Apotex Corp. These medicines may contain low levels of a nitrosamine impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Consumers taking OTC ranitidine, which is used to prevent and relieve heartburn associated with acid ingestion and sour stomach, may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition.

NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products and vegetables.

This recall follows a recent FDA statement about NDMA impurities detected in ranitidine medicines. The agency also recently alerted patients and health care professionals of Sandoz Inc.’s voluntary recall of prescription ranitidine hydrochloride capsules due to an NDMA impurity on Sept. 23.

What patients should know

What health care professionals should know

FDA’s actions

FDA is continuing to test ranitidine products from multiple manufacturers and assess the possible effect on patients who have been taking ranitidine. Additionally, FDA recently posted a testing method, which can be used by regulators and industry to detect nitrosamine impurities in ranitidine. FDA has asked ranitidine manufacturers to conduct laboratory testing to examine levels of NDMA in ranitidine and to send samples of ranitidine to the agency to be tested by our scientists.

FDA will take appropriate measures based on the results of this ongoing investigation. Some manufacturers have chosen to stop distribution of ranitidine as a precautionary measure while the FDA and other international regulators conduct their investigations of the NDMA impurity.

FDA continues to evaluate the safety of ranitidine and will provide more information as it becomes available.

Consumers and health care professionals should report any adverse reactions with ranitidine to the FDA's MedWatch program to help the agency better understand the scope of the problem:

Well to tell you the truth  Health diets and foods and supplements can be  quite profitable, hopefully so.  

We each fight the fight in these corruptible bodies as best we can each day, but in the end it is a fallen world we live in. Praise God we have a redeemer the healer of all that is flawed in creation.

The battles so many  of us live, whether it is the battle for a loved one, or for ourselves, is an often agonizing pain. But to call the many care and wellness professionals profiteers, I think is going beyond way beyond, what is the case.

Our doctors have been real heroes. What they get into I would not want to be doing every day. Those that specialize in cancer treatment care especially.

Though It has been a horrible absolutely horrible (with flashbacks) memory for me I have awesome appreciation for the many who have given so much time of their own lives to helping my family especially my wife, and also me. 

I give my thanks to God  and to the many researchers, scientists, surgeons,  doctors,  inventors, and engineers that have given so much in the way of personal resources that others may live a better quality of life while here. That includes my own father and his medical partner who restored to a good quality of life so many at so great a personal out of pocket cost and 30 years of their time working at a moments notice 24/7. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions where spent in the cause.  And so it goes today with others too. Nope can't buy into the idea it was nor is today done for big profit at no personal cost to the care providers.

At the same time,it saves lives,best is to most likely change your diet so your stomach can heal and you don't need anything,but to scare people with medication is just plain wrong. We all have a mind to make good desicions,if you need antibiotcs,will you take them? There's a place for everything.

Hi,  I have fun.

But no, I have actually been a card carrying healthy organic diet fanatic. We would also test ph of saliva and urine, we would make bread from spelt, we would drink raw goats milk , we would get our foods from the organic foods co -operative, we would eat organic garlic, we would fast, we would consume 64 ounces of distilled water and 64 ounces of lemon water  day. There were supplements by the shelve load, and I had my own licensed medical  physician dietitian too.  My own longest fast on water and lemon water only was for twelve days, more commonly for three to six days at a time.

We have been "into" colloidal silver juice ( the stuff that turns some people purple), chiropractic care for over 50 years, kinesiology with allergy testing and supplements and oils and vapors, and let's not forget exercise, been there done that too, not a runner but a brisk five mile walk day. Plus I am attuned and can do Reiki.

 I have also been the care giver and the advocate for far too many of my own family too. Years worth  of time spent, much of it without  any normal pattern  of sleep or rest. Lost three to cancers.One to diabetes, one to strokes with  paralysis.

I have been around the block, more than  a couple of times.

I now find the fanatic to be  more a detriment than an aid to good health, for the excess always has it's own shortcomings. What is good for me hey it is good for me, but not necessarily good for you. The people that so boldly state, you must do because I do, are just plain wrong. And many of them are brothers and sisters in the Lord, yet doing more harm than good to the physical bodies  of others and themselves in their fanaticism,  even though well educated in the word of God.

What I have noticed is we all die. And seldom if ever at a time that is  convenient. Final illnesses are just plain awful regardless of diet programs that may have preceded them. These bodies of flesh are indeed corruptible. Tough on us all, but it is the way it is.

So I have also eaten what I can, including Maine lobster, clams, oysters, and even that wild asparagus that Euell  Gibbons was chasing. Don't know why  he chased it, it wasn't all that good.  I enjoy,  and will continue long as I have teeth to chew and a functioning digestive system,

I agree we all die,but we most likely have a better quality of live if we're careful what we put in our mouth :)

Nobody can escape death :)

I used to have bad acid reflux and took ppis and zantac. For me, in my own self care I got off the meds, changed my diet and use probiotics. I'm good now. Again this was something I decided.. I'm not advocating for anyone to take what I've said and drop meds without your Dr knowing. Tc

Sister, I've been advised even by medical people that these can and probably would lead to cancer. (I was prescribed it due to severe trauma-related damage to my stomach and upper GI.) I chose to go the route of treating with diet instead, to heal my insides. My upper GI and stomach linings were bleeding and nearly everything I ate would come back up. I began drinking aloe vera juice and apple cider vinegar, daily. And that, plus eliminating a few foods has greatly reduced my symptoms...I'd say there is about 90% reduction. 

I agree ,we can do a lot with diet but God had giving us doctors also, I'm very careful of which prescriptions I choose to take as the side effect are often worse then the cure :) God did give us mind to research medication but at the same time time it saves lives! :)

Now, wait a minute. That was NOT my intention. I was merely following through with another poster's comments about medications and the potential harm they can do. That is all. You are accusing me of something that I did not do. I'm merely giving the FDA's warnings on a OTC med, its recall, and it's on the internet and in televised commercials. I'm no alarmist, just being informative. Hope that's not a problem on a forum that takes on topics of all interest. This was a topic of health concerns was it not?

We all have a mind to make good desicions,

Yes, we do. I'm doing the best I can in this lousy nursing facility that refuses to adhere with state mandations, our residential rights, and be treated decently. That's frustrating for me enough without having to be incorrectly accused. Pardon me for being upset.

Of course I do. What kind of question is that?

There's a place for everything.

That was my assumption. I make every attempt to stay on the topic at hand. When I don't, at least I say so. How many others here do the same? Few at best. Now, I hope we're good. I've had some really difficult past few days in this wretched place where so many come to pass peacefully, and am trying to remain in the most pleasant demeanor possible. Okay?

I used to have bad acid reflux and took ppis and zantac. For me, in my own self care I got off the meds, changed my diet and use probiotics. I'm good now. Again this was something I decided.. I'm not advocating for anyone to take what I've said and drop meds without your Dr knowing. Tc 

I'm all for people getting the best medical advice they can, and certainly in many situations you need to listen to doctors...   but we need to not put doctors up as divine knowledge.   You need to also simply try things yourself to see what works and what doesn't, and pray for wisdom from the great healer himself.... because shockingly... sometimes he knows things doctors do not.

I know crazy thought....
