Cohort study or 65 million US residents did not show any increase in cancer in patients using ranitidine/ Zantac as compared to similar drug, famotidine. There is an overall increase risk to the general population but many of these patient had several comorbid conditions which puts them at higher risk for cancer.
Amid the COVID -19 crisis, it is a time is stress for all patients, staff and providers. We encourage people to stay at home. Practice social distancing when you are out. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers before eating or when touching solid surfaces. Avoid touching your face. Sneeze into your sleeve or into a tissue. You should discard your tissue and immediately was your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. ... Avoid sharing food, cups, utensils and water bottles. Seek emergency care if you or a family member have fever, cough and shortness of breath, become faint, weak, have a seizure or become lethargic. We will be open, with limited hours, to see patients who have urgent GI needs. As an alternative to coming to the office, we are also offering Telemedicine visits to our existing patients. You need to be web-enabled to our practice portal and have the Healow app on your tablet or smart phone. This is a covered benefit provided by Medicare, Medicaid and several other insurance companies.

But the use of the practice portal with the Healow app, is our preferred method of telemedicine. You should call our practice at 404-294-8180 for further questions.
Another reason to be concerned about the amount of High-fructose corn syrup in the diet, possible increased risk for intestinal cancers.
Something to consider if you have been told your have fatty liver or NASH. A ketogenic diet, one with decreased carbohydrate consumption in showed significant improvement in several markers over usual management.
Vitamin D is showing itself to have a role in decreasing several cancers. Consider taking supplements, definitely if you have low levels.
Happy to be a sponsor of the program that supports the education of refugee girls.
