Can gas medicine be consumed throughout the year?



Burning of acid is called gastric. The drug groups on the market are omiprazole, pantoprazole, isomiprazole, lansoprazole, rabiprazole, and the more recent vonoprazone. These medicines have brought revolutionary changes in the acidity of the stomach. However, this drug is most likely to be abused. We take this medicine for no reason at all. But it can be very dangerous.

Risk?

Prolonged use of the drug can lead to various complications. Such as –

Pneumonia: This medicine changes the acidic environment of the stomach. This facilitates the growth of bacteria. A particularly favorable environment is created for a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. These germs travel from the stomach to the lungs. As a result, the incidence of pneumonia increases.

Cell swelling: This medicine increases the amount of an enzyme called gastrin (biocatalyst). As a result, the acid level rises again. For a long time, a type of cell becomes inflamed due to the effect of an enzyme called gastrin. Over time, it can develop into cancer.

Bone loss: Taking gastric medicines impairs the absorption of calcium in the intestines. One study found that taking omeprazole for two weeks reduced calcium absorption in the intestines by up to 41 percent. This increases the risk of bone loss. If this continues for a long time, the bone will break.

Biting the flesh: Taking gastric medicines for a long time reduces the amount of magnesium in the blood. Absence of it leads to muscle pain, weakness, tachycardia, convulsions, increased blood pressure.

Nervousness: Long-term use of this medication can cause a deficiency in vitamin B-12. A lack of it can lead to anemia and anemia. This problem is especially common in the elderly. Scientists have long found a link between the drug and dementia.

Kidney disease: Acute interstitial nephritis is a serious kidney disease. The disease can start within 18 months of taking this medicine. It can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.

 

What should we need to do?

·        Do not take any medicines without the advice of a doctor. The doctor may have given a temporary gastric medicine, do not take it day after day.

·         Adopt natural methods to reduce acidity or gas. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, drinking too much water, skipping meals, etc.
