A member asked:
I took zantac, almost daily, for about 5 years prior to recall. i wasn't overly cautious about how i stored all of it. i'm sure i occasionally took a tablet that was kept in my glovebox. how concerned should i be over the risk of cancer from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zantac: I read a recent study that demonstrated no increased incidence of cancer in people who took zantac(ranitidine). I myself would not be concerned.
