GSK strikes $2.2bn deal to resolve legal cases in US over heartburn treatment Zantac

British drugmaker agrees payment to resolve 80,000 cases alleging cancers were linked to drug known generically as ranitidine

The Guardian

By 2019 popular non prescription #heartburn #medication #Zantac was recalled from retail after it was found to contain an #antihistamine that blocks the release of stomach acid called N-nitrosodimethylamine (#NDMA) that is linked to causing #cancer.

#Drug Mfgr #GSK has reached $2.2bn #legalsettlement in US that is supposed to cover 93% of user cases brought thus far.

Previously #GlaxoSmithKline had paid $70m to settle with the lab that discovered the issue, and other big #drugmakers that also marketed the #OTC drug, including #Pfizer and #Sanofi, have already reached sizable settlements.

Hi #CoryDoctorow,

While you pump the #experimentalMedications why don't you go take some #Zantac that was approved in 2012 by the FDA and eight years later was found to cause cancer, cardiac events and blood clots.

Can we really rush long term studies? We say, no you can'tโ€” but we are just regular observers and not #BigPharma spokespersons.

So consult your BigPharma, they have your back.
