Zantac: CVS latest to suspend heartburn drug over cancer fears - BBC News

US retailer CVS has become the latest to suspend the sale of a heartburn drug being investigated for links to cancer.

It follows concern in several countries over the presence of impurities in Zantac and other ranitidine products.

Canada and France have already announced Zantac recalls. The US and the European Union are investigating.

Health authorities say there is no immediate risk, but patients have been advised to consult a doctor who can prescribe alternatives to ranitidine.

What is the fear about?

On 13 September, both the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) published their decisions to review the presence of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in medicines containing the drug ranitidine.

NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) on the basis of animal studies.

NDMA is found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products, and vegetables, but is not expected to cause harm when ingested in very low levels, EMA says.

Ranitidine products are used to reduce the production of stomach acid in patients with conditions such as heartburn and stomach ulcers.

They are available over-the-counter and on prescription.

Who has recalled the products so far?

CVS's announcement on Saturday said it was suspending the sale of Zantac and CVS Health brand ranitidine products "out of an abundance of caution".

"Zantac brand products and CVS brand ranitidine products have not been recalled, and the FDA is not recommending that patients stop taking ranitidine at this time," the company said.

Walgreens, Walmart and Rite Aid in the US had earlier taken a similar decision.

Canada and France have removed the drugs from pharmacy shelves. A number of other countries have followed suit.

Drug makers are also recalling products containing NDMA.

Sandoz, owned by Novartis, told the BBC it was recalling "several batches of its ranitidine-containing medicines". The recalls were "under way or pending" in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Macedonia, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the US.

Apotex also said it was recalling ranitidine tablets in the US.

The BBC has approached GlaxoSmithKline - original makers of Zantac. The company is reported to have stopped distributing its generic version of the drug and recalled its products from India and Hong Kong.

What should patients do?

Health regulators are urging people taking ranitidine not do discontinue it immediately.

The FDA said, however, that those taking it by prescription should contact health professionals about alternatives. And those buying it over the counter could consider other options.

French authorities also emphasised there was no "acute risk" and patients should not stop the medication or return it to pharmacies.

Illegal cannabis vape carts tested positive for poisonous cyanide - Business Insider

• In a test of cannabis vape cartridges conducted by NBC News, 15 out of 15 illegal carts contained a fungicide that, when burned, can turn into hydrogen cyanide — a extremely dangerous poison.
• All the legal vape carts tested were deemed safe.
• In addition to the fungicide, 13 out of 15 contained Vitamin E — a solvent that's used to cut cannabis vapes.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Vaping, once thought to be a safe alternative to smoking, is facing increasing scrutiny over an increasingly visible health crisis: 530 total possible cases of vape-related lung illness, according to the CDC.

And it's not just cigarette smoking that has people turning to vaping — cannabis, too, is available in vape form. But, like so many black market items before it, the world of illegal weed vapes is tainted with the potential for dangerous additives that could hurt users.

A recent NBC News study documented exactly how real that potential danger is: Of the 15 black market cannabis vape carts NBC had tested, 13 came back positive for containing Vitamin E acetate — a solvent used to cut cannabis that, when it gets in your lungs, could trigger an immune response that causes pneumonia.

Even worse: Of the illegal carts NBC tested, all 15 tested positive for myclobutanil — a fungicide that, when burned, can turn into hydrogen cyanide.

It's not all bad news — NBC News also tested three cannabis vape cartridges from a legal dispensary in California, all from different manufacturers.

All three came back clean, with the testing facility having found "no heavy metals, pesticides, or residual solvents like Vitamin E."

But with no federal-level regulation for cannabis vape carts, and legality of cannabis so balkanized, it's difficult to regulate dangerous additives in vape carts. As the federal government struggles to regulate the quickly emerging market, it's offering a straightforward solution that should work for anyone: Reconsidering buying and using a black market vape cart.

"If you're thinking of purchasing one of these products off the street, out of the back of a car, out of a trunk, in an alley," Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, said recently, "or if you're going to go home and make modifications to the product yourself using something that you purchased from some third party or got from a friend, think twice."

Vaping risks scare local teens, but many are too addicted to quit - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Vaping has consumed the lives of teens across the country, students say, many to the point of addiction. Juuls in particular, the rectangular devices that look more like a USB drive than an e-cigarette, lurk in the background of nearly every aspect of many teens’ conversations, school day, and social lives. Schools are enforcing strict rules to curb their use, placing vape detectors around campus, assigning staff to monitor hallways and bathrooms, making kids sign contracts against vaping, and meeting with parents to try to deter what government and health officials are calling an epidemic.

Nine former employees who worked at the company between 2008 and 2019 described their least favorite parts of their jobs. Each asked for anonymity due to a fear of reprisal from Tesla.

Here's what they said.
