Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications, with millions of people worldwide taking them regularly. In the United States alone, it's estimated that tens of millions of individuals use PPIs each year to manage various gastrointestinal conditions, primarily gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and related disorders.
Proton pump inhibitors are generally considered safe and effective when used for less than 8 weeks, but many people will stay on a PPI long term because stopping abruptly can lead to rebound acid reflux.
In today's episode, we will explore the risks of long term PPI use and alternative methods for managing acid reflux when appropriate.
