Ugh! I know and have been trying hard to convert most of my patients!
Millions of people take acid-blocking medications every single day…
…but very few are told about the long-term risks.
Research has shown that people taking PPIs had a significantly higher likelihood of developing kidney issues over time compared to those not taking them.
These medications were originally designed for short-term use… typically 4 to 8 weeks, not as lifelong solutions (except in specific medical cases).
Yet many people stay on them for years.
