Statement: Zantac (ranitidine) litigation – Russell and Hughes cases

GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today confirmed it has reached two confidential settlements in cases filed in California State Court with Mr. John Russell, resolving his bladder cancer case, and with Ms. Annette Hughes, resolving her colorectal case. GSK does not admit any liability in either settlement. The cases will now be dismissed as to GSK.

Since 2019, following the 16 epidemiological studies looking at human data regarding the use of ranitidine, the scientific consensus is that there is no consistent or reliable evidence that ranitidine increases the risk of any cancer.

GSK will continue to vigorously defend itself and manage this litigation in the best interests of the company and shareholders.
