Proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole, and Esomeprazole are very effective medicines that reduce the stomach’s acid. However, if used long–term they can cause unwanted side effects.

Therefore, it is important that this treatment is reviewed regularly, and the dose reduced or stopped when appropriate.
