The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers and health authorities on the risks of taking prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications that contain proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
In response to a consumer report to the FDA, the FDA has issued a “Pfizer’s Consumer Care Guideline” that it has “considered the risks associated with taking PPI medications and will continue to closely follow the recommendations of the Consumer Health Advisory Panel (CHAP).”
In an update to the Consumer Healthcare Advisory Panel, the FDA has also issued a “FDA-wide Guideline to monitor and report adverse events associated with use of PPI medications.
“Pfizer’s Consumer Care Guideline recommends that consumers and healthcare providers take note of the risks associated with taking PPIs. Consumers should carefully review these recommendations and discuss the risks associated with their medications and seek advice from healthcare professionals,” the FDA’s recommendations state.
Pfizer’s Consumer Care Guideline states that consumers should not stop taking their prescription drugs without first consulting their healthcare provider, who can assess the medication’s safety and determine if it is appropriate for them, and should avoid using the medication if the doctor prescribes a PPI.
FDA-wide recommendations on PPI medications can be found in the announcement from the CHAP.
PPIs, which are sold under brand names including Nexium and Prilosec, are prescribed by healthcare professionals who treat certain conditions. These drugs are typically used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic heartburn, and gastroesophageal ulcers.
In 2014, Pfizer Inc. and its subsidiaries made $1.6 billion in global revenue from PPIs and was the first to warn consumers about the risks of taking these medications. The company said it would not discontinue use of the drug if the healthcare professional recommended it. The company said it will continue to monitor and report any adverse events related to its products.
According to the report, consumers can be warned of the risks associated with PPI medications by a healthcare professional who can assess the medication’s safety and determine if it is appropriate for them.
“This is the first warning alert on the packaging of the PPI product,” said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the Public Citizen Center for Health Research and Education. “It is critical that consumers and healthcare providers be aware of the risks and be aware of the consequences of taking these medications.”
In an interview, Dr. Wolfe said, “I can’t say I have warned the consumer about the risks associated with PPI medications, but it is important that they have the information to make an informed decision about their health.”
In addition to the FDA-wide recommendations, consumers may also be warned of the risks of taking PPIs, including:
