Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday May 25 2010 several studies have shown increased risk of hip, wrist and spine fractures in patients using drugs that block stomach acid. The agency said a half-dozen studies tracked fractures in patients older than 50 when the drugs were used between one and 12 years. The drugs are known as proton pump inhibitors and include both prescription drugs like AstraZeneca's Nexium and Takeda's Prevacid as well as over-the-counter medicines like Prilosec OTC, which is made by Procter & Gamble. I know many people use these every day. I have reported this many times. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-05-25/nexium-protonix-linked-to-bone-fract\ ures-fda-says-update1-.html This is a NEW report May 25 2010. I stopped Nexium about 3 years ago and immediatley felt better. Made my stomach alkaline so had to take other digestive pills. If you are over 50 take care, dont fall! rayme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
