Long Use of a PPI: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are increasing considered a risk issue in long-term use. While it is difficult to answer your question specifically without further information, consider that for GERD and Gastritis, non-drug interventions such as a wedge pillow and changes in your diet can be an alternative to long-term PPI usage and exposure to potential side effects.
