PPI Nexium Linked To Stomach Cancer And Stomach Flu
According to research published in Medscape in November 2019 , long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including Nexium may lead to acute viral gastroenteritis , commonly known as the stomach flu . Previous drug studies have also linked Nexium to side effects including kidney damage and stomach cancer .
The recent research into the side effects of PPIs reportedly indicates that in addition to the previously known side effects of these drugs such as kidney damage and stomach cancer , Nexium may also lead patients to develop the stomach flu .
According to the recent report , one out of every 153 patients who take PPIs during the winter months may expect to suffer from acute viral gastroenteritis . Patients who take PPIs may be at additional risk for developing the stomach flu due to their reduced stomach acid levels . These low acid levels may make the stomach more susceptible to viruses .
Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis may include watery diarrhea , abdominal cramps , nausea or vomiting , fever , muscle aches , headaches , and dehydration .
Patients over the age of 45 are at an additionally higher risk for experiencing the stomach flu due to their PPI usage . The researchers recommend that in some cases , patients may be able to take other drugs instead of PPIs . Additionally , limiting long-term prescriptions may reduce the likelihood of patients experiencing side effects , as overuse has been tied to an increase in kidney disease .
In addition to the increased risk of contracting acute viral gastroenteritis , PPI drugs like Nexium have been linked to other usage risks including osteoporosis-related fractures and bone issues , kidney disease and damage , vitamin B12 deficiency , and stomach cancer . The research indicating that Nexium is linked to stomach cancer estimated that people who took PPIs were two to eight times more likely to develop the cancer than people who did not take PPIs for the treatment of their heartburn or acid reflux .
