Precaution:

• Recall and Safety Concerns: In 2020, ranitidine was recalled and removed from the market in many countries, including the U.S., after it was found to contain NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine), a probable human carcinogen, when stored at high temperatures or for long periods.
• Alternative Medications: Due to the recall, patients are often advised to consider alternative medications like proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole, esomeprazole) or other H2 blockers (e.g., famotidine).
