New Warning About Popular Heartburn Drugs

Certain acid blockers may actually increase your risk of an early death. CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez has more.

I almost thought I saw Kaitlyn Jenner. I had to do a double take. Uncanny resemblance.

Yikes. That comment at 1:37 is kind of scary. He says Zantac has a 40-year safety history. Yet the FDA pulled it off the market a little over a year after this story aired b/c some of the products contained carcinogenic compounds.

Don't use those cause it's hard to get off of them .

Omeprozole nearly killed my kidneys. Stay away from PPI's!

[ibrudiiv]

I'll stick to calcium carbonate ... but don't over do it because of the increased chance of kidney and gall stones lol

[justkoolin]

I've been taking it for years and it hasn't killed me yet. I'm 80+. I'de be more worried about what you are eating and drinking, especially Sugar for one (it's everywhere, in everything and people just keep eating it) and it will kill you..

K so I'm glad that pepcid is not rated as bad at all. That is a major relief because I really love my pepcid complete triple formula! I find it to be a magical gem to be ingesting every now and then. The mint one is the best it's so soothing, has the ideal mix of calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and it's signature famotidine ingredient. Expensive formula but you get what you pay for!

Wait a minute. There is a warning about h2 blockers, too. So, which is it?

[delsings]

I'm glad this warning about omaprazole etc has been broadcast for years, but I just want to mention pepcid isn't exactly safe either. Make sure to read up on the list of serious side effects if you take famotidine long term, especially if you get increased muscle weakness or ongoing back and neck pain and muscle tension. I wish I looked up on it much sooner because I was on it for years and once I weaned off onto a replacement supplement (do research on what's best for you) I've been gaining upper body strength back and chiropractor is actually able to adjust me properly now. I've had to pause my business for 5 years due to all these different health setbacks and now I know pepcid rx was partially the cause. I was on a 40mg per night dose, and doctors wanted me to double it up to 80mg (40 per morning/night). I don't want to imagine what double would have done to me.

I don't do any of those things and I get acid reflux and heart burn just drinking water 🙁

[sophia]

correct the stomach acid and you will close the esophageal sphincter

[vgza]

the only thing need to take is a glass of mineral water and a coffe spoon of baking soda. twice a day no side effect and work great.

Hi everyone. God loves everyone! He made everyone and has a son! His son's name is Jesus. His son forgave us of all wrongs. Breathe air. To life.

[zeza]

withdrawling form prilosec right now and last night my bloat was so bad I had trouble breathing. My stomach is very painful right now

[jimberg]

I like how you try to scare people. Can we assume that these warnings are for people that have acid reflux and not the person seeking temporary relief?

[jbweld]

00:32 Didn't know Bruce Jenner was a doctor as well.

[angelmitchell]
