@kerryann62: A GP is warning patients taking omeprazole and other acid-blocking drugs to get off them “as soon as safely possible.” Omeprazole doesn’t stop reflux happening. It suppresses the production of stomach acid. Take proton pump inhibitors for long enough and stopping them can cause rebound acid hypersecretion. Acid production temporarily increases, reflux symptoms can flare up, and you can end up believing you still need the drug. That rebound effect is recognised in NHS guidance. It’s also why long-term users may need to reduce PPIs gradually rather than suddenly stopping them. Long-term PPI use can also reduce the absorption of nutrients including vitamin B12, magnesium and iron, and prolonged use has been associated with other potential problems that depend on dose, duration and the individual. Meanwhile, the stomach is supposed to contain acid. We need it to digest protein, release nutrients from food and help protect against swallowed microbes. Reflux is acid travelling somewhere it shouldn’t be. Suppressing the acid changes what comes back up. It doesn’t explain why it was coming back up in the first place.

GP's are lazy and can't be bothered to find out what the problem is they just want to keep giving pills ect for symptoms instead of find the cause.

Then gp’s prescribing it long term should be taken up for abuse.

My omeprazole has been saving me for years. I couldn't sleep before then as my reflux was so bad.

Such a dangerous post, telling people not to take them when they don't know their personal circumstances, many people take them because other medication they take can damage stomach lining, cause ulcers or bleeding, please don't just stop taking them folks, talk to a Dr or pharmacist first.

I’ve been on this for over 13 years daily. I’ve spoken to my GP regarding the long term use and was told it’s totally safe to do so 🤷🏻♂️

I'll stop taking lansoprazole when my GP tells me to, not by some marketing article in the Daily Mirror.

What about people with hiatus hernias in their stomach causing the acid to go into their throat and burn it. We have no choice but to take them because the hernia will always cause the acid to burn us so bad it will eventually cause cancer in the throat. If I miss a day of mine il choke on acid and have bad stomach pain [Teary eyed]

If the valve is damaged, causing acid reflux, then these tablets are the only hope unless you have surgery

if this was true than why the heck doctors GP aren't informing us they would by now stop this repeat prescription I think I wait for my GP to stop them or make an appointment phone call ask them
