Have you developed stomach cancer or another debilitating condition from taking PPIs (proton pump inhibitors)? Often used to treat stomach ulcers and acid reflux, these medications inhibit the stomach’s production of acid by working on the cells that line the stomach.
Though they have various brand and generic designations, users can identify them by the following names:
When you retain representation from the personal injury attorneys at Anapol Weiss, our team of Best Lawyer and Super Lawyer-awarded attorneys will serve as your legal advocates in every way.
There is a long list of side effects associated with taking PPIs. A few of them include:
Unfortunately, the FDA continues to allow pharmaceutical companies to release these drugs, and doctors continue to prescribe them. Patients who trust their doctors are often unaware of the seriousness of these side effects. Some people take them for years, despite the overwhelming evidence that taking these drugs long-term is harmful.
Have a frank discussion with your doctor if you are taking PPIs, and don’t discontinue them until you’ve talked with him or her. If you are suffering from acid reflux, heartburn or ulcers, know that there are alternatives to taking PPIs. If you do decide PPIs are damaging your health, don’t stop all at once. Gradually come off the medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms. In the meantime, a low-carb diet has helped some who suffer from stomach issues, and it helps ensure that your gut is healthy by taking probiotics.
Whether through a doctor’s prescription or from over-the-counter treatments, PPIs have a history of damaging a person’s health – it’s a case of the treatment being worse than the illness. If you have suffered the damaging effects of long-term PPI use, discuss your symptoms with an attorney.
