Two common types of medicines have been associated with B-12 deficiency to varying degrees: H-2-receptor blockers
Long-term use may be associated with magnesium and vitamin B12 deficiency and an increased risk of bone fracture
Nevertheless, the association between therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and ID has long been a subject of debate
Many patients with iron deficiency anemia who require oral iron repletion are on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for management of various conditions that require
For over a decade, despite animal and human studies and numerous case reports that demonstrated interference by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with enteric absorption of dietary and medicinal iron, the
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been used worldwide to treat gastrointestinal disorders
Some studies suggest that prolonged omeprazole use for at least 3 to 4 years is unlikely to cause iron and ferritin malabsorption, whereas Sarzynski et al found that
Proton pump inhibitors can increase the pH thereby causing the oxidation of some of the ferrous iron (Fe2+) to ferric iron (Fe3+), which is not as readily absorbed
