[quote=Anonymous]Go to the FDA website. They have detailed information about the level of NDMA found in different samples made by different companies (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/laboratory-tests-ranitidine). My baby was on ranitidine from one month to four months and of course I was concerned, but the level of NDMA found in the samples made by the company who made her meds was negligible (there was a big range of NDMA concentration among different companies). If the one you used is low, you can at least get some peace of mind.

Also read up about what the levels found in the tested samples actually mean. For example, with another drug that was recalled because of NDMA, "The FDA estimated that, if 8,000 people took the highest dose of valsartan containing NDMA every day for four years, there would be one additional case of cancer over the lifetimes of these 8,000 people" (https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/ranitidine-zantac-recall-expanded-many-questions-remain-2019101018044). In other words, the risk is really small.[/quote]
