Classification of Proton Pump Inhibitor?

PPIs are the class - there isn't really any need for classification. Techelf 07:01, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In last week's JAMA there was some proof that PPIs increase the risk of pneumonia. Shall we put it in? JFW | T@lk 17:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the JAMA article, I've put a brief spiel in the main article which you can expand if you like. Techelf 07:52, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Contents 1 Pneumonia 2 Template 3 Interstitial nephritis 4 Don't worry about B12

[edit] Pneumonia

Uncontrolled or insufficiently controlled Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease can cause Pulmonary aspiration which may lead to pneumonia. Interesting that the current favoured treatment for GERD is for associated with increased risk of community-aquired pneumonia.

See above. JFW | T@lk 20:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template

v • d • e Drugs for acid related disorders: Drugs for peptic ulcer and GERD/GORD (A02B) H2 antagonists Cimetidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine, Ranitidine, Roxatidine Prostaglandins/analogues Misoprostol, Enprostil Proton pump inhibitors Esomeprazole, Lansoprazole, Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole, Tenatoprazole Other Carbenoxolone, Sucralfate, Pirenzepine

The above template is available; I think it should probably be used on this page? I didn't want to duplicate the information already there, but removing the present list would lose the brand name reference. -- Mithent 20:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Interstitial nephritis

... is very rare, usually affects the elderly, rarely progresses to dialysis and takes more than 6 months to heal doi:10.1111/j.1365-2036.2007.03407.x JFW | T@lk 19:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don't worry about B12

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2036.2008.03601.x - after reports about metformin causing B12 deficiency and concerns about calcium absorption in PPI treatment it was probably time we looked at B12, deficiency of which can cause haematological and neurological complications. No problems there. Good. JFW | T@lk 21:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
