Distillation is the process of separating the component or substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture.
Prevacid is a drug used to treat several different conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, erosive esophagitis, and duodenal ulcers. As a proton pump inhibitor, this medication reduces the amount of acid in the stomach by blocking the acid production sites.
PrevAcid and Hypomagnesaemia. In March 2011, an FDA Drug Safety Communication warned that long-term use of proton pump inhibitors had been associated with hypomagnesaemia (low serum magnesium levels). In many of the cases reviewed by the FDA, magnesium supplementation alone did not improve low serum magnesium levels and the PPI had to be discontinued. Could PrevAcid be Associated with Dementia? A study published in the JAMA Neurology in April 2016 suggested that regular use of proton pump inhibitors might increase a seniorâs risk of dementia by 44%.
