Over the years, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has skyrocketed worldwide and India is no exception. These agents are very effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), healing peptic ulcers, and preventing gastrointestinal bleeding in patients on non steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy (NSAIDs), aspirin (ASA), and blood thinners. Over the years, these agents have been "implicated" in causing several side effects. In some instances there are clear "associations", but rarely have there been true established "cause and effect".

Abstract


Over the years, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has skyrocketed worldwide and India is no exception. These agents are very effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), healing peptic ulcers, and preventing gastrointestinal bleeding in patients on non steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy (NSAIDs), aspirin (ASA), and blood thinners. Over the years, these agents have been "implicated" in causing several side effects. In some instances there are clear "associations", but rarely have there been true established "cause and effect".
