Attorneys for Heartburn Medicine Stomach Cancer | Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, and Zantac Cancer Lawsuits

Acid Reflux Medication Stomach Cancer Lawsuits

Among the most-used medications worldwide, antacids and heartburn medications have been found to cause cancer. Acid reflux drugs such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Zantac and generic Zantac are under FDA investigation and have been subject to major heartburn medicine recalls due to the cancer risk.

Used regularly by millions of Americans, Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Zantac and generic Zantac are hugely profitable for billion-dollar pharmaceuticals such as Astra-Zeneca, Procter & Gamble, Sanofi, Sandoz, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals. It is the mission of our acid reflux drug attorneys to hold drug companies accountable for exposing countless consumers to the risk heartburn medication cancer with no prior warning.

Heartburn Drug Cancer Warnings

Two different classes of acid reflux drugs have been found to cause cancer: protein pump inhibitors, or PPIs, and histamine 2 blockers, or H2 blockers. PPIs that cause cancer include Prilosec, Prevacid, or Nexium; H2 blockers that cause cancer are Zantac generic Zantac. Both classes of drug are used to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid such as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and heartburn.

A staggering number of Americans--literally millions--have used these drugs routinely, believing them to be completely safe. Learning that acid reflux drug cause cancer has understandably angered many consumers. While heartburn drug cancer is still under ongoing FDA investigation, we do know that more regular and more sustained use are both indicators of higher risk for cancer. Antacid cancer is generally gastrointestinal forms of cancer, including stomach, bladder, or esophageal cancer.

Zantac Cancer

Zantac and generic Zantac have been found to cause cancer due to the presence of a carcinogenic substance known as NDMA. While doctors and patients alike trusted Zantac as safe over the past three decades, we now know that Zantac causes stomach and bladder cancer.

Prior to any Zantac recalls, many major pharmacy chains including Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Target and Kroger took the step early on of removing the dangerous products from their shelves upon learning of the Zantac cancer threat. Sanofi, the manufacturer of the brand-name drug eventually issued a Zantac recall in response to the cancer findings; several manufacturers of generic Zantac such as Apotex, Sandoz, GlaxoSmith Kline, Perrigo Company, Novitium Pharma, Lannett Company, and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories responded by issuing generic Zantac recalls.

Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium Cancer

Within the same year, researchers in Hong Kong and Sweden simultaneously uncovered the antacid cancer risk from PPI drugs. Researchers found that taking Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium can result in gastrointestinal tumors, leading to stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer.

Rather than containing a cancer-causing substance, Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec increase the risk for cancer by causing the body to overproduce the hormone gastrin. Taking Prilosec, Nexium or Prevacid routinely over the long-term more than doubles a patient's risk of developing stomach cancer.
