Proton pump inhibitors may cause kidney disease
Millions of Americans have stomach issues, many of which are related to heart burn and acid reflux. Thankfully, there are several medicines available over-the-counter and by prescription that prevent and relieve these discomforts. Some drugs that help with these stomach issues are called proton pump inhibitors.

A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a medicine that reduces stomach acid. People take PPIs for heart burn, acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and other related conditions. While many PPIs are available by prescription only, some are becoming more readily accessible over-the-counter; you may have seen or heard of Prilosec, Prilosec OTC, Prevacid, or Nexium. These are all well-known PPIs.

PPIs work by preventing stomach acid from being produced – they stop heart burn, indigestion, and acid reflux before it begins. Many people take them first thing in the morning or take them before meals.

I was involved in a case for the faulty hip replacements. Clay Hodges represented me. I can't say enough about how much he has helped me. Clay was able to win multiple settlements on my behalf with most of them being the maximum amount able to be awarded. Matt J.

Clay, thank you sir for making a disheartening experience at least palatable, you and your staff were honest, caring and understanding through the entire process of my wife’s hip replacements, while monetary settlements never make the pain and suffering end, it sometimes is the only way people can fight back to right a wrong.
