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 are among the most frequently prescribed medicines in the U.S. with sales exceeding $13 billion annually. In the year 2000 Prilosec was the worldâs most frequently prescribed drug with sales topping $6 billion annually. Now Nexium, âthe purple pillâ made by the same manufacturer, has taken the lead. These drugs block production of stomach acid thereby providing symptomatic relief from heartburn.
