GSK Wins Chicago Court Case Over Zantac Cancer Claims on Monday

Aug 5, 2024, 09:57 PM

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has secured a victory in an Illinois state court as a jury in Chicago found the company not liable for a woman's colorectal cancer on Monday. The case centered around claims that the now-discontinued heartburn drug Zantac caused the illness. This verdict aligns with the scientific consensus that there is no consistent or reliable evidence linking ranitidine, the active ingredient in Zantac, to an increased risk of any cancer. This marks the second consecutive trial win for GSK amidst hundreds of similar lawsuits in Illinois.
