So I had a lengthy discussion with my doctor about #Omeprazole and #PPIs and here is what I got from it:
News about medical studies have to be taken with a grain of salt and consulted with a physician.
Yes, PPIs can have adverse side effects.
However, it is important to note that most of the adverse effects mentioned in the media are associations which have their basis on low-grade evidence and observational associations rather than clear causation.
