A Zantac Resume

​

The date of this Zantac recall is the date on which the company learned that there was a problem with its acetaminophen product. This was in November of last year and according to what the FDA says, they believe that it was the improper packaging and not taking of safety precautions when the product was being distributed. They have also found dioxane in some of the products and this has been connected to the same health problems as the acetaminophen. However, this does not include deaths or illnesses.

The Zantac recalled a number of different kinds of pain killers as well as antacids. There are over 15 different kinds of products that Zantac produces. You can get them over the counter at your local drug store or you can get prescription-strength versions from the medical community such as those from HMOs and pharmaceuticals. There are also lots of over the counter supplements in the market. The reason why Zantac has decided to recall these products is because of the concerns that have been raised over the possible links to acetaminophen and stomach ulcers.

The Zantac recall came just a few months after the company released another batch of Ranitidine products which contain an ingredient called bupropion. It is believed that the mix of elements might create a dangerous combination that can lead to serious health problems. The new recall affects a total of twenty-five varieties of Zantac Ranitidine products including chewable tablets, liquid and powders. The name of the medicine in these products includes the term "Ranitidine" and is marketed under several other names, all of which are variations of the primary ingredient. Some of the product packages have been removed and are being replaced by new ones.
