Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

South Carolina Zantac Lawsuit Attorneys
Representation for Zantac Injury Victims
In South Carolina, car accident victims have a right not only to recover damages involving personal injury – including their medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering – but also damages involving their property and the diminished value of their vehicles after an auto accident. This means that if another party caused your car wreck, they should be held liable for any diminished value to your vehicle.
If you or a loved one is a regular Zantac use and was diagnosed with cancer, send us a message or call (864) 408-8883 for a free consultation with our legal team.
Why Was Zantac Recalled?
The pharmaceutical companies Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sanofi, among others, halted the production of Zantac and generic ranitidine medications in September and October of 2019. The remaining supply of Zantac was pulled from the shelves of CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart.
Zantac was voluntarily recalled by drug manufacturers and national retailers. The recall actions were not ordered by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but taken in response to an agency investigation into a potential NDMA contamination in ranitidine. NDMA is known as a “probable carcinogen.”
The presence of NDMA in Zantac was initially identified by Valisure, an online pharmacy that claims to test all of the medications they carry.
Why is Zantac Hazardous?
Many people associated the findings on Zantac with the NDMA contamination of blood pressure medications that was discovered early in 2019. Although both of these cases involve the same carcinogen, there is evidence that the chemical’s presence in Zantac is due to a different reason than the blood pressure drugs.
The presence of NDMA in blood pressure medication was linked to errors in the manufacturing process. Conversely, the NDMA in Zantac appears to be the result of the chemical interactions of ranitidine in the human body. Ranitidine may engage with naturally-present enzymes and form NDMA, or increase the amount of existing NDMA in the drugs.
Potential Side Effects of Zantac Use
NDMA has been labeled by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The levels of NDMA in Zantac were labeled as “unacceptable” by the FDA, exhibiting a significant cancer risk.
Zantac use is particularly associated with the development of cancers such as:
- Bladder cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Liver cancer
- Small intestine cancer
- Stomach cancer
I am a Regular Zantac User — What Should I Do?
The FDA has not issued an official order to users of Zantac and generic ranitidine medications to cease treatment. If you are a person who regularly uses Zantac for heartburn treatment and are concerned about the risks of use, discuss alternative medication options with your doctor. There are many different heartburn medications that do not contain ranitidine and are known to be just as effective as Zantac. The FDA stated in a release about Zantac that there is no NDMA in medications such as Pepcid, Tagamet, Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec.
Your doctor can advise you on the risks and benefits of continued Zantac use, as well as potential alternative treatments which may work for you. Medications affect every person differently, so it is important to speak to your medical care provider about Zantac and your specific case.
