ALKA-SELTZER GOLD WARNING

Studies indicate that people who take proton pump inhibitor medications (such as Nexium) may be at an increased risk for broken bones. The risk appears to be highest for people who take such medications at high doses or for long periods (over a year). You and your healthcare provider should take this into account when deciding if the benefits of this medication outweigh the risks for your particular situation.

The use of proton pump inhibitors (including this medication) may increase the risk of a potentially serious condition known as Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). If you develop diarrhea that does not seem to improve (especially if it is watery and accompanied by a fever and abdominal pain), seek immediate medical attention.

The prominent consumer watchdog group Public Citizen has filed a petition with the FDA, indicating that a new black box warning for Nexium, Prilosec and other proton pump inhibitor drugs is necessary to warn consumers and the medical community about the risk of long-term dependence and other dangerous side effects.

According to the petition (PDF) filed with the FDA on Tuesday, Public Citizen indicates that the strongest possible warning label is necessary for the widely used acid reflux drugs, which were prescribed more than 119 million times in 2009 and generated sales in the United States of $13.6 billion.

An estimated one out of every 20 people in the developed world are currently taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce the production of stomach acid in an attempt to alleviate symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers and other stomach ailments. In addition to Nexium and Prilosec, other drugs in the same class included Prevacid, Zegerid, Protonix, Dexilant, Aciphex, Vimovo and a number of generic equivalents.
