In it I point out that drugs commonly used for acid reflux, known as Proton Pump Inhibitors such as Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid to name a few, prevent the absorption of critical bone-healthy nutrients. As I wrote earlier, it’s been years that I have been warning of the very same problems in the Osteoporosis Reversal Program. However, since consumers may take the OTC products for a longer time than the directions on the label, the FDA plans to revise those labels as a precautionary measure.īecause you are a Save Our Bones community member, this is “old” news for you. The over-the-counter versions of the drugs are marketed at low doses and only intended for a 14-day course up to 3 times per year. Short-term, low dose use of the drugs is unlikely to pose a fracture risk, the regulator said on its website. The FDA is also working with the manufacturers of these drugs to further study this possible risk, it said. Most of the studies tested individuals aged 50 years or older, and the increased risk of fracture was seen mainly in this age group. Prilosec, Zegerid and Prevacid are also available in over-the-counter versions. Prescription PPIs include names such as AstraZeneca's Nexium, Prilosec and Vimovo, Takeda Pharmaceutical's Dexilant and Prevacid, Pfizer's Protonix,Johnson & Johnson and Eisai's Aciphex, and Santarus' Zegerid.
The FDA said that fracture risk was highest for patients on high doses of prescription PPIs or on PPI for one year or more. The drugs, called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), are widely used to treat ulcers, acid reflux and other conditions. The FDA said it reviewed seven published studies, six of which showed an increased risk of fractures with the use of the drugs. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it was revising the prescription and over-the-counter labels for the drugs to include new safety information about the possible increased risk of fractures. health regulators said that patients taking prescription ulcer drugs at high doses or for longer periods may have increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist and spine. Read the article below and my take that follows: FDA: Acid Reflux Drugs Increase Risk of Fractures The good news is that the truth can't be hidden any longer. This is just further evidence of how the Save Our Bones community is ahead of the curve.Īs usual, the writing was on the wall, but mainstream medicine looked the other way. Considered as “breakthrough” news, I have been warning of the very same problem in the Osteoporosis Reversal Program for years. Such is the title of an article published just a few days ago.
