Heartburn Drug Health Risks Uncovered...
Dear Reader,
Drugs like Nexium and Prevacid are helping many patients with serious stomach and digestive problems, but new research suggests that these medicines are risky choices for regular users who have less serious conditions.
The risks include an increased chance of bacterial infection (from organism clostridium difficile or c. difficile) and bone fracture according to some new studies in the Archives of Internal Medicine, part of a special theme issue examining the downside of over-using medical care.
Dr. Mitchell Katz, the director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health authored an editorial that accompanies the studies. He estimates that between 30 to 40% of those who take proton pump inhibitors really need them to treat conditions like ulcers and Barrett's esophagus, but the remainder who are taking these medications for more common heartburn and indigestion, probably don't need them.
Lifestyle (don't smoke) and diet changes (drink less alcohol, eat smaller meals, avoid trigger foods) would be a more effective treatment for these people.
Rising rates of infections like C. difficile, often the result of a lengthy stay
in a hospital, have experts worried - especially now that acid reducing drugs
are so popular. Stomach acid seems to protect against harmful C difficile bacteria,
keeping it from gaining a foothold in the intestines.
In one of the studies led
by Dr. Michael Howell, director of critical care quality at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center in Boston, he and his colleagues looked at data from over 100,000
hospitalized patients. Those who took a proton pump inhibitor once a day had
a 74% increased risk of developing a C. difficile infection. Those who took the
drugs more often were at more than two times the risk.
In a different study conducted by another research team led by Dr. Amy Linsky, a fellow in internal medicine at Boston Medical Center, found those who were already being treated for a C. difficile infection and were also taking a proton pump inhibitor were 42% more likely to have the infection return compared to similar patients who weren't taking these types of medicines.
Another study in the same issue of the journal found that proton pump inhibitors increased the risk of some types of bone fractures. This comes from an analysis of data on more than 161,000 postmenopausal women that found taking these medications raised the chance of fractures of the spine by 47%; fractures of the forearm and wrist went up by almost 25%.
It's not clear why this happens, and the medication doesn't appear to affect bone mineral density. The researchers theorize that suppressing stomach acid might interfere with the ability of the intestine to absorb calcium, a must for strong bones.

Heartburn Drug Health Risks Uncovered... Continued...
While Nexium and Prevacid are the most popular proton pump inhibitors there are
others. Some of the names you might know are Prilosec, Zegerid, Protonix and
Aciphex.
These medications are some of the most often prescribed drugs in the United States.
Last year they were the third largest class of drugs in the country with sales
of $13.6 billion. This represents over 110 million individual prescriptions according
to numbers that come from health care market research
company IMS Health.
The studies, taken together, suggest that these medications are being over prescribed,
or the doses given may be too high. Not surprising in a culture that's increasingly
looking for solutions to problems from pills and potions.
If you have symptoms, indigestion, heartburn or other discomforts you're worried
about, talk with your doctor, and be sure to ask questions about the risk and
benefits of any prescription, including proton pump inhibitors, that you are
given.
To your good health,
