Lorsque les gens prennent des m\u00e9dicaments populaires pour des conditions m\u00e9dicales courantes, ils croient qu'ils prennent un m\u00e9dicament qui leur fera du bien. Cependant, de nombreux m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance offrent plus de mal que de bien, et les personnes qui prennent ces m\u00e9dicaments n'ont aucune id\u00e9e du risque qu'elles courent en utilisant ces m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance.<\/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 NBCNouvelles<\/a>. Un Allemand \u00e9tude<\/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 L'\u00e9tude donne des informations utiles, mais pr\u00e9sente \u00e9galement quelques lacunes qui pourraient rendre les donn\u00e9es plus ou moins profondes. Par exemple, l'\u00e9tude n'indique pas si tous les m\u00e9dicaments contre les br\u00fblures d'estomac \u00e9taient des m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance ou si les patients pouvaient obtenir les m\u00e9dicaments contre les br\u00fblures d'estomac en vente libre. De plus, l'\u00e9tude n'avait aucun moyen de prendre en consid\u00e9ration le poids corporel et l'alimentation, qui sont deux facteurs de risque connus associ\u00e9s \u00e0 l'apparition de la d\u00e9mence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tout le monde n'est pas capable de contr\u00f4ler ses probl\u00e8mes d'acide gastrique sans m\u00e9dicaments, mais pour de nombreuses personnes qui prennent ces m\u00e9dicaments, il peut \u00eatre possible de r\u00e9duire la production d'acide sans m\u00e9dicaments.
