MONDAY, Jan. 11, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- A type of heartburn medication called proton pump inhibitors may be linked to long-term kidney damage, a new study suggests. Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid belong to this class of drugs, which treat heartburn and acid reflux by lowering the amount of acid produced by the stomach.
Heartburn drugs help digestive problems, but may cause bacterial infection, diarrhea or death. Taking acid-suppressing drugs may allow bacteria to get foothold and result in infection. About 30-40 percent of people taking the drugs need them, but other 60-70 don't.
