Yeah, but do you have a RUINED GI track? Estrogen’s, OA drugs, ruined mine, to long on Nexium gave me brittle bones OP -4 which is the bottom of the scale and Barrett’s Esophagus which is a per-cancer type leather like painful lining of the Esophagus, I have to have a Upper Endo scope with biopsy every 2 yrs, DUMBO caused it to go to 3 yrs this year. And when the Gastro did this last one he found a Hiatal Hernia, small thankfully. Nexium is a 2 week ulcer drug, not a life long Reflux drug. Only one that worked of all tried.
So use that as a warning when you think you need a PPI drug. CHECK THEM OUT on google for side effects and length of time you can take them.
BTW all OP drugs are FDA Flagged with Forteo shot 6 months, being also Black Boxed for Bone Cancer, can’t find the stats on the # of deaths these horrid drugs cause, heard the tales of the side effects though all BAD. The IV 1 year Reclast is not to be given to Asthma patients, yet it is. Crap never leaves the body either.
I’m very sorry, GailA, I wasn’t trying to be insensitive. I’m truly sorry for your pain, prayers up for you
I also don’t trust pharmaceuticals. It’s far too common for some cure for something as simple as toenail fungus, for example, with side effect lists a mile deep, many of which are potentially fatal
What’s an “OP drug”?
