A July 2009 study of Acid Blocker Drugs shocked the medical community, reporting the drugs actually caused the symptoms they are supposed to treat. The study recruited asymptomatic healthy volunteers who took Acid Blocker drugs for a few weeks, and then stopped. Upon stopping the Acid Blocker drug, more than 40% of the volunteers reported heartburn and acid regurgitation, symptoms they never had until after they stopped the Acid Blocker drug.

(These drugs are Prolisec, Nexium Aciphex, Protonix, and are also called PPI’s for Proton Pump Inhibitors).

Dr Christine Reimer the author, said her study revealed “unrecognized aspects of Acid Blocker -PPI drug withdrawal with acid rebound”.

The Acid Blocker Drug Merry-Go-Round

For the typical heartburn relieved with acid blocker drugs, symptoms return with a vengeance when the drug is stopped. This withdrawal effect is the hallmark of an addictive drug, in this case caused by “rebound acid hypersecretion” with increased gastric acid production. The worsening heartburn pain forces the victim to immediately go back on the PPI acid blocker drug, and continue indefinitely into the future.
