Heartburn relief ≠ risk-free. Long-term PPIs(Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium) tied to kidney disease, fractures, infections, nutrient loss… and cancers (gastric, liver, pancreatic, colorectal). And 25–70% of prescriptions may not be truly needed… #BlueSky #MedSky #SciSky #NewsSky #GISky #EMSky
When I asked my gastroenterologist about the risks of using PPIs, he told me there were no risks, that they were completely safe to use long term otherwise they wouldn't be on the market. He completely dismissed the legitimate concerns I raised that were confirmed by the info sheet in the pkg.
