What is the Potential Damage Caused by Zantac?
According to the FDA, Zantac and Ranitidine can potentially cause cancer.
Aside from the Zantac cancer risk, ten (10) other serious potential side effects caused by Zantac and Ranitidine include:
1) Coughing up mucus
The FDA has also found that Zantac may cause coughing up mucus, which can lead to difficulty breathing and other respiratory problems.
The airways of the lungs are delicate and any irritation can cause them to become inflamed, swollen, and make it difficult to breathe.
2) Kidney cancer or failure
Kidney cancer or kidney failure are additional serious and potentially life-threatening conditions that occur when the kidneys are unable to filter waste and toxins from the blood.
Symptoms of kidney failure include fatigue, weakness, confusion, and difficulty urinating.
If left untreated, kidney failure can lead to coma and death.
3) Dark urine
Another potential damage caused by Zantac is dark urine.
It is a sign that the liver is not functioning properly and could be a sign of liver damage, liver cancer, or bladder cancer.
The dark urine may also be a sign of dehydration, which can lead to kidney failure.
If this problem occurs after you have been taking Zantac, stop taking the drug and contact a doctor.
4) Easy bruising or bleeding
Easy bruising or bleeding is another potential side effect of taking Zantac.
This problem occurs when the blood does not clot properly and can lead to excessive bleeding from even the slightest injury.
The Mayo Clinic warns that easy bruising or bleeding can also lead to more serious health problems, such as anemia.
Anyone who experiences easy bruising or bleeding while taking Zantac should speak to a doctor immediately.
5) Vision problems
Zantac can also cause vision problems in some people.
The drug may cause the pupil of the eye to dilate more than normal or make it difficult to see in low light.
Vision problems may also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as uveitis, and should be evaluated by a doctor.
6) Weakness
The weakness is another condition that may be caused by Zantac.
It can lead to fatigue and make it difficult to perform daily activities.
Weakness is very common in those who are taking Zantac and may be a sign of dehydration.
7) Joint pain
Zantac can also cause joint pain, which is yet another adverse effect to consider.
The joint pain may be a sign of inflammation in the joints and can be very painful.
The discomfort in the joint may make it difficult to move the injured joint.
It is very challenging to deal with the ongoing pain and inflammation.
8) Irregular heartbeat
This problem can be very dangerous and lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Zantac may cause an irregular heartbeat, which is known as arrhythmia.
An arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly.
If you have this issue while using Zantac, consult your doctor immediately.
9) Chest pain
Chest pain is another symptom that should not be ignored.
It may be a sign of a heart attack or other serious cardiovascular problem.
Zantac may cause the arteries to constrict, which can lead to chest pain.
This problem should be evaluated by a doctor right away.
10) Loss of appetite
The loss of appetite is another potential side effect associated with Zantac.
The loss of appetite may lead to weight loss and malnutrition.
Other health issues can then develop as a result of weight loss and malnutrition.
Zantac can also cause nausea and vomiting, which can further contribute to the loss of appetite.
If you experience any of these problems while taking Zantac, it is important to consult your doctor immediately.
Many of these problems can be serious and potentially life-threatening.
It is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with taking this drug and similar dangerous drugs.
