Long term use of a type of acid reflux drug increases the risk of dementia by a third

 

Long term use of a type of acid reflux drug increases the risk of dementia by a third, warns new research. Scientists found that people who take proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, for four-and-a-half years or more were 33 per cent more likely to develop the debilitating condition.

Acid reflux is when stomach acid flows into the oesophagus, usually after eating or when lying down. People with acid reflux may experience heartburn and ulcers, while those who suffer frequent bouts of acid reflux may develop gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GORD, which can lead to cancer of the oesophagus.
