Cuando las personas toman medicamentos populares para afecciones m\u00e9dicas comunes, creen que est\u00e1n tomando un medicamento que les har\u00e1 bien. Sin embargo, muchos medicamentos recetados ofrecen m\u00e1s cosas malas que buenas, y las personas que toman estos medicamentos no tienen idea del riesgo que corren al usar estos medicamentos recetados.<\/p>\n

Some people\u2019s bodies produce too much stomach acid, which can creep the esophagus and throat, causing a lot of pain. This condition is referred to as heartburn or acid reflux, and many people have experienced it at least once in their lives. Prescription proton pump inhibitors, such as Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid, are used for controlling acid production in the stomach. Some people rely on these medications to control their heartburn every single day, and there are concerns that doctors are overprescribing these types of medications, when a change in diet could help reduce acid-reflux issues naturally. There were over 15 million people who were on prescription proton pump inhibitor heartburn medication in 2013.<\/p>\n
In addition to being linked to kidney damage and weakened bones, proton pump inhibitor prescription drugs have now recently been linked to an increased risk of developing dementia in elderly individuals, according to NBCNoticias<\/a>. Un aleman estudiar<\/a> looked at the use of heartburn medication in elderly populations, those over the age of 75, and noticed that when comparing subjects who were not taking any heartburn medication to a group of subjects who were taking heartburn medication, the group of subjects taking heartburn medication had a forty four percent higher instance of developing dementia.<\/p>\n The data was collected from more than 73,000 patients spanning 2004-2011 from records provided by a health insurer and analyzed in late 2015. Patients\u2019 diagnoses and drug prescription records were categorized, and used to draw up various conclusions about the use of heartburn drugs and an increased risk of dementia in elderly patients. The study suggests that patients may stay on these heartburn drugs for too long and may use them when it is unnecessary to do so (i.e., the drugs are being prescribed for minor heartburn).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n El estudio brinda informaci\u00f3n \u00fatil, pero tambi\u00e9n tiene algunas deficiencias que podr\u00edan hacer que los datos sean m\u00e1s o menos profundos. Por ejemplo, el estudio no indica si todos los medicamentos para la acidez estomacal eran medicamentos recetados o si los pacientes pod\u00edan obtenerlos sin receta m\u00e9dica. Adem\u00e1s, el estudio no ten\u00eda forma de tener en cuenta el peso corporal y la dieta, que son dos factores de riesgo conocidos asociados con la aparici\u00f3n de la demencia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No todas las personas pueden controlar sus problemas de \u00e1cido estomacal sin medicamentos, pero para muchas personas que toman estos medicamentos, puede ser posible frenar la producci\u00f3n de \u00e1cido sin medicamentos. Algunas formas en que las personas pueden reducir sus niveles de producci\u00f3n de \u00e1cido estomacal incluyen:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00bfHa resultado lesionado por un medicamento u otro producto defectuoso?
