Podcast 551: PPIs are Not Benign

Contributor: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • PPIs (Proton pump inhibitors) reduce stomach acid levels and are commonly prescribed in patients with GERD or peptic ulcer disease
  • Stopping a PPI after sustained use for a month or longer can lead to withdrawal - causing a rebound indigestion or reflux due to a surge in acid production
  • Long term PPI use has noteworthy side effects including increased incidence of bacterial GI infections and pneumonia
  • Be cautious in prescribing a PPI for over 2 weeks. If continued indigestion control is needed, transition to a H2 blocker or OTC antacids if prolonged treatment is needed.
