A member asked:
Can proton pump inhibitors cause pneumonia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. Germs cause pneumonia. A person who is on PPI's can get pneumonia just like a person not on PPI's. If you ride a bicycle into traffic and get run over, the bike did not cause your injury, the car that runs you over did.

Proton pump inhibitors do not infect people with viruses, bacteria, parasites, or tuberculosis.
