03.01.2022 There's been some talk about Zantac (Ranitidine) being contiminated with a cancer causing ingredient in the news. People who use ranitidine products should be aware of this issue. There is no immediate health risk associated with this medication as the risks are assoiciated with long term use. For individuals that have been prescribed ranitidine, the risks of not treating the condition may pose a greater risk to health than the potential contamination. You should continue... taking ranitidine until you have spoken with your doctor. If you're taking it without a prescription, speak to one of our pharmacists about other heartburn treatment options. If you're concerned or have any questions, ask one of our pharmacists or your doctor.
