Does Zantac Cause Cancer?

Zantac and generic ranitidine may contain N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a probable human carcinogen. Previously used to manufacture rocket fuel, NDMA has been found to induce tumors in rats and may cause cancer in the gastrointestinal system for humans. In September 2019, an online pharmacy found NDMA levels as high as 3 million nanograms per tablet in Zantac; humans can safely consume up to 96 nanograms per day.

After an investigation, the FDA discovered that NDMA impurities in Zantac increase over time and when stored at higher-than-normal temperatures. In April 2020, the FDA issued a recall for this medication due to the risk of cancer.
