Long-Term Use Risks: PPIs are often continued indefinitely without reassessment. Long-term use (>1 year) is associated with hypomagnesemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, Clostridioides difficile infection, and potentially hip fractures.
Not for Immediate Relief: PPIs require 1–4 days to reach maximum acid suppression. Not appropriate for immediate heartburn relief (use antacids).
H. pylori Testing: Consider testing for H. pylori in all patients with peptic ulcer disease before empiric PPI therapy.
Gastric Cancer Masking: Long-term PPI use may mask symptoms of gastric malignancy. Ensure appropriate workup before starting long-term treatment.
Hypomagnesemia: Check magnesium levels before starting in high-risk patients (those on digoxin, diuretics).
