Heartburn and acid-reflux medication recalls

12 FDA-recorded recalls of heartburn and acid-reflux medications, most recent Mar 2026 — newest first, straight from the FDA's own database.

The defining event in this class was ranitidine: NDMA — a probable human carcinogen — was detected in ranitidine tablets, capsules and syrups, and the recalls that followed are in the FDA database we reproduce here. The class is also where a 2026 cross-contamination recall originated, when cetirizine allergy tablets were found contaminated with ranitidine. Most other recalls here are ordinary manufacturing or impurity failures on specific lots, and heartburn medicines are among the easiest to replace — if your lot is named, stop using that pack and ask the pharmacist for an alternative.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Eye drop and ophthalmic · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Thyroid medication · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Opioid and pain medication · Seizure and epilepsy medication · Asthma and inhaler.

Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
