FDA Warning About PPI Drugs

Post by tex »

Hi All,

It seems there's no end to the bad news that continues to turn up these days regarding PPI medications. Now they're a C. diff risk. :yikes:
The FDA warned today that use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) -- including popular brands such as Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid -- may increase the risk of <em>Clostridium difficile</em>-associated diarrhea.

I knew there was something about 'em that I didn't like. :wink:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
