Certain batches of ranitidine-containing medicines have been subject to recall and quarantine, as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) investigates their potential contamination with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a known risk factor for some cancers.
Last week (November 19), the MHRA announced the latest ranitidine-containing products to be recalled: Creo Pharma Limited's ranitidine oral solution 30mg/ml and Tillomed Laboratories Limited's ranitidine 150mg tablets.
