Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—medications frequently acclimated to amusement heartburn, acerbic reflux, and ulcers—have been affiliated with potentially austere ancillary furnishings including a accessible added accident of cartilage fractures. In a new Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics study, however, patients with Barrett’s eosophagus—a abiding aggravation of acerbic reflux— who took aerial doses of PPIs for abiding periods were no added acceptable to accept cartilage fractures or affirmation of cartilage abrasion (osteopenia or osteoporosis) than bodies in the accepted population.
The abstraction included 521 patients with Barrett’s eosophagus. Independent accident factors for osteoporotic fractures included earlier age, changeable gender, and greater co-morbidities.
“Patients with Barrett’s eosophagus represent a different citizenry for belief the association amid PPI use and osteoporosis-related fractures, due to their analysis with abiding and high-dose acerbic suppressive therapy with PPIs to ascendancy reflux,” wrote the authors of the study.
