  • Summary

  • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) like Prilosec, omeprazole, etc. are only FDA approved for SHORT TERM GERD relief. There may be situations when long term use is appropriate. Stopping suddenly can result in rebound acid reflux. Seek your doctor's help coming off long-term PPI use smoothly. Long term PPI use is associated with vitamin and mineral deficiencies and an increased risk of fractures. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557385/ www.cms.gov/medicare-medicaid-coordination/fraud-prevention/medicaid-integrity-education/pharmacy-education-materials/downloads/ppi-adult-factsheet11-14.pdf For more resources and information about myself and my services check out www.DrRamakko.com You can also search for my book on Amazon: "Pain is Not a Life Sentence: A Guide to Understanding and Eliminating Chronic Muscle, Joint, and Nerve Pain".
