WASHINGTON, D.C. – Drugmaker Sanofi is recalling its over-the-counter heartburn drug Zantac in the U.S. and Canada because of possible contamination. The French company Friday joined other drugmakers that have recently recalled their versions of the popular heartburn and ulcer drug. The Food and Drug Administration has said consumers should consider taking another heartburn medicine in the meantime.
