Proton Pump Inhibitors PPI Overuse

There are times when doctors over-prescribe Proton Pump Inhibitors for stomach problems that can actually do more harm than good. Taking PPI's too much for too long can
cause many health problems. 

 PPI's were first introduced in the late 1980s, PPIs are used for the treatment of acid-related disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including peptic ulcers and gastrointestinal reflux disorders. Long-term use of PPIs, including Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium, may result in Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN), which is a condition where the spaces between the tubules of the kidney cells become inflamed. While individuals who suffer from AIN can recover, most will suffer from some level of permanent kidney function loss. In rare cases, individuals suffering from PPI-induced AIN will require kidney transplant.
If you feel that you have been harmed by PPI use please email lawyerharmon@gmail.com or call 205-342-3622 so we can discuss your health problems.
