Many pregnant women currently use proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for treatment. However, does this method have any risks?

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duy Thang: PPI (Proton pump inhibitor) is a proton pump inhibitor. PPIs are widely used in treating symptoms of increased gastric acid secretion such as heartburn, regurgitation, and acid reflux. PPI drugs are indicated for the treatment of diseases such as: Inflammation, gastric – duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux…

Any medication can cause side effects. Long-term use of PPIs is associated with a number of side effects such as: Headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, rash and itching, increased risk of infection, including community-acquired pneumonia, nosocomial pneumonia, increased risk of Candida infection, increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.

For pregnant women, who are sensitive subjects, studies also show that prolonged use of PPIs will reduce the absorption of important nutrients such as calcium and vitamin B12, and may affect the bone development of the fetus.

Therefore, pregnant women need to consult an obstetrician and be cautious when using, considering safer solutions.
