Zantac Cases

Kwok Daniel Ltd, LLP is gathering a group of Zantac claims to file for those whose lives have been hurt due to the ineffectiveness of the prescribed drug.

What is Zantac?

Zantac is the brand name for a medication called ranitidine, which many people use to treat stomach acid disorders. This medication functions by blocking a chemical produced in the body called histamine. This chemical tells your body to create more acid and pump it into the stomach. If you have too much stomach acid, you may have painful and serious health consequences. By blocking histamine, Zantac helps reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces.

Health and Safety Concerns After Using Zantac

One of the primary concerns for people taking Zantac is the presence of a carcinogen, called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Carcinogens are chemicals or products which increase your likelihood of developing cancer, which makes their presence in food and medications particularly dangerous.

This chemical is created as a by-product during many different types of manufacturing. Although NDMA is typically a liquid, you can find this chemical in many different environments, including the air, water sources, food, and soil. Producing the primary ingredient in Zantac, called ranitidine, creates a significant amount of NDMA.

What Are the Side Effects of Taking Zantac?

Like many medications, Zantac can cause numerous different side effects because of the chemical changes within your body. These side effects can range from mild and intermittent to constant and severe. Some of the most common side effects of taking Zantac include:

Headaches
Constipation
Diarrhea
Fatigue
Dizziness
Nausea

Although these are the most likely side effects of regular Zantac usage, you may have a more severe reaction to this medication, which may require medical intervention. You may have a greater risk of a severe reaction from Zantac if you have an underlying kidney or liver disorder, porphyria, or if you consume alcohol.

You should seek medical help if Zantac causes you to experience:

Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Irregular heartbeat
Mood swings or hallucinations
Dark urine
Yellow skin
Swelling of the throat, face, or tongue

These side effects may indicate a serious allergic reaction to Zantac. In the worst cases, using Zantac may cause serious illness and even death, if you do not seek rapid treatment for these side effects.

Possible Compensation from Your Zantac Lawsuit

When a dangerous drug hurts you or a loved one, you may need extensive medical treatment to protect your health. Medical intervention is extremely expensive, and you may not be able to work while you are recovering from your illness. These expenses may threaten your financial well-being and your future. However, you should never have to give up the necessary medical treatment and recovery time because of the cost. Fortunately, securing an appropriate settlement from your lawsuit can help you pay for these expenses and ensure that you can continue your normal life.

Due to the wide variety of side effects from NDMA-contaminated Zantac, the type and amount of compensation from a lawsuit against Sanofi Aventis or another ranitidine manufacturer may vary from person-to-person. The specifics of your case, including the severity of your symptoms and your monetary losses, will help determine what compensation you may be eligible for. However, some of the most common expenses your lawsuit may pay for include:

Emergency medical treatment
Hospitalization and surgery
Chemotherapy treatment
Medications and medical devices
Rehabilitation services
Psychological therapy
Lost wages
Reduced or lost ability to work
Temporary or permanent disability

When a drug manufacturer causes your illness, no one should expect you to pay for the harm they caused. You need to talk with a lawyer about all the possible compensation available from a Zantac lawsuit. A lawyer will act as your advocate and ensure that you receive a fair settlement for your pain.

Why You Need a Lawyer

Filing a lawsuit against a large company, like Sanofi Aventis, may feel like an impossible task. This company has a team of lawyers, who spend their time and energy fighting back against lawsuits. These lawyers will do everything in their power to avoid paying you anything, even when you have a valid case against the company. To ensure that this company, or any pharmaceutical company that caused you harm, does not take advantage of you or offer you a lowball settlement, you need to work with a skilled mass tort lawyer.

Your lawyer will gather all the evidence you need for your case, and they will build a strong legal argument on your behalf. Furthermore, when you enter a mass tort lawsuit, you will join a team of people fighting back against pharmaceutical companies like Sanofi Aventis. Working as a group to gain compensation will not only help to speed up the legal process, but you may even be able to get a larger settlement as a result.

To ensure that you receive the greatest possible compensation for your case, you need to act quickly and start your case with a mass tort lawyer as soon as possible. For high-quality legal advice on your Zantac lawsuit, contact Kwok Daniel at 1.888.466.KWOK (5965) or 713.773.3380 (local) today.

Generally, total hearing loss is worth more than partial hearing loss. So far, tinnitus (ringing int he ears) is a wild card. We are unsure how a jury would value these cases. But clearly, constant ringing in your ears for the rest of your life is valuable. We will fight for six and seven figures for the vast majority of our cases. Much of this will depend on the Court's rulings and verdicts from "bellwether" trials.
