Abstract:
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been widely used to treat patients with acid-related disorders because they are perceived to be safe and effective. However, they have the potential for side effects. Many studies have examined the side effects of long-term PPI exposure. We review the side effects of long-term PPIs, focusing on nutrition, metabolism, and infection.
