FDA requests removal of Zantac from market
[link:https://wreg.com/news/fda-requests-removal-of-zantac-from-market/|
According to the FDA, this is the latest step in an ongoing investigation of a contaminant known as N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in ranitidine medications, including Zantac. The agency has determined that the impurity in some ranitidine products increases over time and when stored at higher than room temperatures and may result in consumer exposure to unacceptable levels of this impurity. As a result of this immediate market withdrawal request, ranitidine products will not be available for new or existing prescriptions or OTC use in the U.S.
The FDA is also advising consumers taking Zantac to stop taking any tablets or liquid they currently have, dispose of them properly and not buy more. Those who wish to continue treating their condition should consider using other approved OTC products.

HOLYOKE — As the region reels from 13 recent deaths of veterans at the Soldiers’ Home amid an outbreak of COVID-19, staff members are alleging that dangerous conditions and a lack of transparency on the part of administrators fueled the crisis.
“It’s just complete chaos,” said one certified nursing assistant, or CNA, choking back tears Monday while describing the dangerous conditions the residents were allegedly exposed to:
■allowing a patient with symptoms awaiting coronavirus test results to mingle in common areas on his unit;
■failing to isolate that patient’s roommates and to provide staff who had to treat him with proper protective equipment;
