Business Maverick: First Zantac cancer case, set for trial, dropped after settlements

Generic producers Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Perrigo, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Dr Reddy’s Laboratories agreed to a combined settlement of more than $500,000 with Joseph Bayer after he alleged the popular heartburn medication caused his esophageal cancer, according to the people.

None of the brand-name makers of the now over-the-counter drug – including GSK, Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim – paid anything toward the settlement. They were the last defendants left in the case and the claims against them were dismissed.Drug companies have questioned Zantac’s link to cancer and said the NDMA levels in the medication were close to what was already found in food.

Another reason Bayer’s lawyers decided to drop the case against the branded makers of Zantac was his testimony in a pre-trial deposition that he only took generic versions of the drug to treat his heartburn.
