Gastroduodenal carcinoids have been reported in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome on long-term therapy. This condition may be a manifestation of the underlying condition, which is known to be associated
Long-term use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) acid-suppressing agents, such as omeprazole, has been associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer (also called gastric cancer). This is based on the results of several observational studies and is thought to be because PPIs such as omeprazol...
Long-term use of PPIs has also been associated with low levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia). Analysis of patients taking PPIs for long periods of time showed an increased risk ofheart attacks. Therefore, it is important to use the lowest doses and shortest duration of treatment necessary for ...
However, a newer study shows that long -term use of PPI has nothing to do with changes in bone density or bone strength, and changes in bone density or bone strength can lead to increased fracture risk, which indicates that this relationship is not a causal relationship. 3.2 Precautions ...
Omeprazole is reported to be effective in reducing gastric acid secretion in cats.22The recommended empirical dosage in cats is 0.5 to 1 mg/kg orally once daily. Long-term use in humans33anddogs11is associated with gastric polyps and parietal cell hyperplasia, respectively, but the effect of ...
Omeprazole is generally considered safe when used as directed, but like all medications, it can have side effects. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Long-term use of omeprazole, particularly beyond the recommended durations, may increase the risk of certain...
Long-term use of omeprazole, especially at high doses and for extended periods, may be associated with a slightly increased risk of bone fractures. Possible interactions may occur with other pharmaceutical products. Consult with a doctor or pharmacist about any medications and supplements you are ta...
Long-term omeprazole maintenance therapy was discontinued in 36/116 patients (31%) but in no cases was discontinuation due either to drug-induced side-effects or uncontrolled gastric acid output. Fasting serum gastrin levels were significantly elevated above pre-treatment levels at only one time ...
pump inhibitors.Proton pump inhibitors are drugs used to suppress production of stomach acid. Prilosec is used to treat frequent heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Long-term use of Prilosec may cause several adverse side effects1...
Due to its ability to interact, for long periods of time, that is, decades, with the gastric mucosa without causing damage to the host, H. pylori has been described as part of the transient human gastric microbiome, nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that H. pylori is a predisposing ...
