Heart Burn Pills Increase Cancer, Heart Disease Risk New Study

Heart disease

4-

Daily Mail reported that a class of drug known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that bring instant relief are among the most widely prescribed in the UK - 43 million prescriptions for them were written last year.

Taken about an hour before a meal, they block the enzymes that make stomach acid so that you produce only about 10?per cent of normal levels, so when liquid from the stomach backs up into the gullet it doesn’t cause that burning sensation.

Last week U.S. researchers found PPIs raise the risk of developing the superbug C.difficile by two thirds, and warned they should be used ‘more prudently’.

I think such data is not available in India as India is a poor nation or other reason is corruption.
