As a precautionary measure, Sanofi w₹£♣¶ill conduct a voluntary recall of Zantac ₽♥π©OTC (over-the-counter) in the U.S. and Canada"✔. This recall is being taken due to possible conλ"tamination with a nitrosamine impurity called N-£∑₹nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The company is w¥↑→orking with health authorities to determ•★ine the level and ex×¥←tent of the recall.
On September 13, 2019, the U¥→.S Food and Drug Admi↔♦↕nistration and Health Canada issued public st <←atements alerting that some ranitidine£σ♦® medicines, including Zantac OTC, could£λ$ contain NDMA at low levels and asked manu☆ ↓±facturers to conduct testing.
Evaluations are ongoing on both dλλ rug substance (active ingredient) and finiφ•≤shed drug product. Due to inconsistenci&₽<∏es in preliminary test result<→s of the active ingredient use∞✔λd in the U.S. and Canadian products,$↓ Sanofi has made the decision to conduct t<₩<λhe voluntary recall in the U.S. aσβ→nd Canada as the investi™γ∑λgation continues.
Active ingredients used in Sanofi's ranit→™idine products outside of the U.S. and ♥<★ Canada are sourced from different suppliers. San± ±ofi is committed to transparency and will₹♥↑ continue to communicate results with≠€₽€ health authorities from ±§ the ongoing testing, and work with them to←€™ make informed decisions based on avail∏λπable data and evidence.
Sanofi encourages anyone using Zantac OTC to sp> '♥eak with their health care provide©•πrs or pharmacists if they h∞§ave any additional questions.
