For their being considered safe and as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are one of the most frequently used medicines nowadays. However, for the last couple of years, many researches analyzing PPI were conducted and these studies shed light on PPI side effects and mechanisms of these processes. Particularly, interesting is the impact of PPI on hearing loss development. However, this side effect seems to be local and its mechanisms are complex and systemic and involve changes in the whole body. This paper summarizes how through, inter alia, alterations in circulatory system, respiratory system, central nervous system, and metabolic changes PPI can cause hearing impairment, which can occur at every age and is connected with long-term use of this group of drugs. Another important finding is the role of PPI in acceleration of presbycusis development which is disturbing with regard to the fact that elders are the group who most frequently use PPI in the long term. Hearing loss is the factor which gravely decreases life quality, especially among elders who are the most afflicted group; thus, administration of PPI should be considered carefully, taking under consideration all benefits and all potential side effects.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of medications. The broad spectrum of side effects following long-term NSAID therapy includes mainly, but not only, gastrointestinal complications. Risk stratification of the gastrointestinal complications events is an important element of planning NSAIDs therapy, which allows to determine the indications for the use of proton pump inhibitors. This article presents the criteria for assessment and the method of adequate prevention of gastrointestinal side effects in patients receiving long-term NSAID therapy.

AbstractDabigatran etexilate, a direct thrombin inhibitor, is now frequently used for long-term pharmacological prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, such long-term dabigatran therapy (DT) significantly increases the risk of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This increased risk of gastric bleeds might be reduced with gastroprotective agents, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs coadministrated with dabigatran reduce the risk of upper GI bleeding in patients on long-term oral DT. Nevertheless, there is heated discussion regarding interactions between PPI and dabigatran that lead to decreases in dabigatran plasma levels. This article reviews up to date data about the risk of gastric bleeding on dabigatran, the impact of PPI on the reduction of gastric bleeding, and the interaction between PPI and dabigatran leading to decreased dabigatran plasma levels.

Proton pump inhibitors [PPIs] are extensively used drugs for various indications. They are not approved for long term use by regulatory authorities. PPIs are also available as over the counter drugs which can lead to their inappropriate use. Amongst the adverse drug reactions [ADRs] of PPIs, dementia and Alzheimers disease [AD] are the recent ones. Inappropriate long term use of PPIs can lead to serious ADRs like myocardial infarction, nephropathy along with dementia. The possible mechanisms for PPIs induced dementia and AD are endothelial dysfunction, its aging and senescence. Effect on lysosomal function and proteostasis, shortening of telomere length, and inhibition of vacuolar ATPases [V-ATPases] of microglial lysosomal membrane also contribute for this pathology. Increased generation of beta amyloid [Aβ] peptide by inverse gama secretase modulation and augmentation of beta secretase are responsible for the generation and accumulation of Aβ along with its decreased degradation as a result of inhibition of V-ATPases in the microglia. Vitamin B 12 absorption is decreased due to long term use of PPIs. This also contributes for nerve damage as a result of impaired DNA synthesis, methylation and homocysteine neurotoxicity along with cognition impairment. Seizure like condition can be the result of hypomagnesemia induced by long term PPIs use. Thus long term, inappropriate use of PPIs invite serious and life threatening conditions which need to be kept in mind by the clinician before prescribing them.

Abstract Background Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in older adults is a prevalent issue and associated with adverse health outcomes. There is limited evidence about older adults’ perception of PPI use and its associated side effects. This study aimed to examine the knowledge and awareness of older adults about PPI use and its side effects and willingness to stop PPI and its associated factors. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 120 older adults from three local healthcare centers located in Irbid, Jordan. Older adults’ perception of PPI use was measured by Patients’ Perceptions of Proton Pump Inhibitor Risks and Attempts at Discontinuation Survey. Results The majority of older adults were not familiar with any report linking PPI use with side effects, reported no concern related to the chronic side effects of PPI, and had not discussed the benefits and risks of PPI with their primary care providers (PCPs). Although a majority did not try to stop PPI, most older adults were willing to stop PPI due to its side effects, particularly if recommended by PCPs. Factors associated with long-term use of PPI included age, indication for gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), improvement of GERD symptoms, and being comfortable to reduce or stop PPI. Recommendations by PCPs to stop PPI (p = 0.049) and a greater level of concern about long-term side effects of PPI (p < 0.0001) were the only two statistically significant predictors of previous attempts to stop PPIs. Conclusions Concern about PPIs is associated with attempts to stop PPI, particularly with PCPs’ recommendation. The risks and benefits of PPIs should be discussed with PCPs to avoid making inappropriate decisions regarding PPI therapy. The Long-term use of PPIs should be carefully evaluated.

Objective Our goal was to compile the most recent and accurate data on the side effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPI). We also compared the efficacy of PPI to the efficacy of different surgical options for acid reflux control. Background Proton pump inhibitors are the primary therapy for chronic control of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but newer studies demonstrate deleterious side effects. Collating this information and contrasting it with surgical therapy for GERD provides evidence for possible practice changes in treatment. Methods A literature search utilizing PubMed was performed evaluating for PPI and anti-reflux surgery (ARS), focusing on articles that reflected information regarding the usage and efficacy of symptom control of both PPI and ARS. Search terms included “ARS, fundoplication, MSA, acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, meta-analysis, PPI, H2 blocker, cardiovascular risk, and gut dysbiosis.” We evaluated 271 articles by title, abstract, and data for relevance and included 70. Results Long-term control of GERD with PPI may have a greater than expected side effect profile than initially thought. Surgical options may provide greater symptom control than PPI without the side effects of long-term medical therapy. Conclusions Anti-reflux control can be safely achieved with either PPI or surgical options; however, the long-term side effects noted in the review such as increased risk of cardiovascular events, renal disease, and gut dysbiosis may suggest surgical anti-reflux control as a better long-term option.

The medical and lay literature has exploded with reports of adverse events associated with proton pump inhibitors over the last 10 to 15 years. The dissemination of these reports to patients and clinicians have created substantial concerns regarding what has been an exceptionally valuable drug class, dramatically improving patient quality of life, and in many cases preventing life threatening side effects of other medication. Patients are more frequently seeking to avoid these medications, and practitioners are reducing or discontinuing them to the patient’s detriment due to a misunderstanding of the data. This review will discuss the data regarding the most commonly publicized adverse events and attempt to put them in perspective.
