Ranitidine, commonly known as Zantac, was recently recalled by the FDA because NDMA, a “probable human carcinogen,” could be one of its components. Zantac has often been prescribed for those suffering from GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
Another GERD medication, Axid, has also been recalled. It too
might contain carcinogenic amounts of NDMA.
