How many times does CNN have to keep repeating this story It's old news.

Americans need to learn to live with pain and discomfort. Not every little thing needs to be medicated with prescriptions. Herbal remedies are gifts from God that have been used for millenia.

The FDA seems to have fun of playing the pharma like yoyo.

CNN is there anyway to keep us posted about Iranian people? I'm just wondering how they are doing.

Just great I take these for years.

Ranitidine (Zantac) has been off the market for months. The only available medications right now in Ontario, Canada are Nexium, Pepto, Gaviscon, Tums. I haven’t seen any famotidine as well. Be cautious of what’s on the shelf! Ask your pharmacist about the items. 💊 recall
