Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association of potential risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTI) caused by E. coli producing ESBL vs. not producing ESBL in Iceland. METHODS Observational, case-control study including a cohort of 27,747 patients (22,800 females, 4,947 males; 1207 cases, 26,540 controls) of all ages with UTI caused by E. coli in 2012 to 2021 at the clinical microbiology laboratory covering about 2/3 of the Icelandic population. Clinical patient data was obtained from three national databases. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as a measure of association between ESBL and exposure variables. RESULTS The proportion of samples with ESBL-producing E. coli increased during the study period, from 2.6% in 2012 to 7.6% in 2021 (p < 0.001). ESBL-positive strains were detected in 1207 individuals (4.4%), 905 females (4.0%) and 302 males (6.1%). The following risk factors were identified: Male sex, higher age, institution type (hospital, nursing home), hospital-associated UTI, Charlson comorbidity index score ≥ 3, history of cystitis or hospitalization in the past year, and prescriptions for certain antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs: OR 1.51) in the past half year. The antibiotic associated with the highest risk was ciprofloxacin (OR 2.45). CONCLUSION The prevalence of UTIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli has been increasing in Iceland. The strongest risk factors for ESBL production were previous antibiotic use, especially ciprofloxacin, and previous PPI use, both considered to be overprescribed. It is important to promote the prudent use of these drugs.

Proton-Pump Inhibitors in Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Review Focused on the Role of Pharmacogenetics. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:487.

Abstract
Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most administered first-line treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). However, only around half of EoE patients respond histologically to a double dosage of PPI. In addition, 70% of responders maintain EoE in remission after tapering the PPI dose. In order to avoid endoscopy with biopsies-the only accurate method of assessing PPI response-efforts have been made to identify PPI responder patients. The clinical or endoscopic features and biomarkers evaluated so far, however, have not proven to be sufficient in predicting PPI response. Although new approaches based on omics technologies have uncovered promising biomarkers, the specialized and complex procedures required are difficult to implement in clinical settings. Alternatively, PPI pharmacogenetics based on identifying variations in CYP2C19 and STAT6 genes have shown promising results in EoE, and could easily be performed in most laboratories. Other genetic variations have also been associated with PPI response and may explain those cases not related to CYP2C19 or STAT6. Here, we provide an overview of PPI treatment in EoE and evidence of how genetic variations in CYP2C19 and other genes could affect PPI effectiveness, and also discuss studies evaluating the role of pharmacogenetics in predicting PPI response in patients with EoE.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and progressive lung disease characterized by the accumulation of scar tissue in the lungs, which leads to impaired lung function and reduced quality of life. The prognosis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is the most common form of pulmonary fibrosis, is generally poor. The median survival for patients with IPF is estimated to be around 3-5 years from the time of diagnosis. Currently, there are two approved drugs (Pirfenidone and Nintedanib) for the treatment of IPF. However, Pirfenidone and Nintedanib are not able to reverse or cure pulmonary fibrosis. There is a need for new pharmacological interventions that can slow or halt disease progression and cure pulmonary fibrosis. This review aims to provide an updated overview of current and future drug interventions for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and to summarize possible targets of potential anti-pulmonary fibrosis drugs, providing theoretical support for further clinical combination therapy or the development of new drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acid suppression medications, such as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists, are commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. However, concerns regarding potential long-term side effects are brought up by the overuse of PPIs. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between PPI usage, allergy, and asthma in the general US population. METHODS Data of individuals aged ≥20 years who had information on PPI use and questionnaires on allergy and asthma in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the associations between PPI use, prevalent allergy, and asthma. RESULTS A total of 4,481 participants (representing 198,543,007 US individuals after weighting) were included in the analyses. PPI use was not significantly associated with the presence of allergy or asthma in the general study population after adjustment. However, in females without steroid exposure, PPI use was significantly associated with increased odds of allergy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.002-2.86), among which esomeprazole use was significantly associated with increased odds of allergy (aOR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.30-5.54) and lansoprazole with increased odds of asthma (aOR = 3.44, 95% CI: 1.50-7.87) as compared to no PPI use. Duration of PPI use was not significantly associated with allergy or asthma. CONCLUSIONS In US women without steroid exposure, PPI use is associated with increased likelihood of prevalent allergy and asthma.

[PMID: 38392779 PMCID: PMC10889795 DOI: 10.3390/jof10020107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary aspergillosis mainly affects elderly patients, patients with pulmonary complications, patients with hematological malignancies, organ transplant recipients, or critically ill patients. Co-morbidities may result in a high rate of polypharmacy and a high risk of potential drug-drug interaction (pDDI)-related antifungal azoles, which are perpetrators of several pharmacokinetic- and pharmacodynamic-driven pDDIs. Here, we report the results of the first 2-year study of an outpatient clinic focusing on the management of therapies in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis. All patients who underwent an outpatient visit from May 2021 to May 2023 were included in this retrospective analysis. A total of 34 patients who were given an azole as an antifungal treatment (53% voriconazole, 41% isavuconazole, and 6% itraconazole) were included. Overall, 172 pDDIs were identified and classified as red- (8%), orange- (74%), or yellow-flag (18%) combinations. We suggested handling polypharmacy in those patients using specific diagnostic and pharmacologic interventions. As expected, red-flag pDDIs involved mainly voriconazole as a perpetrator (71%). However, nearly 30% of red-flag pDDIs were not related to antifungal therapy. These findings highlight the importance of conducting an overall assessment of the pharmacologic burden and the key role played by a multidisciplinary team for the optimization of therapies in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis.

Abstract
We investigated the association of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use with the risk of stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening cohort from 2002 to 2003, the participants of which were followed up until 2019, was used. In study I, 45,905 participants who were diagnosed with stroke were matched with 91,810 control I participants. The history of PPI medication was examined. In study II, 40,928 participants who were diagnosed with IHD were matched with 81,856 control II participants. In both study I and study II, the previous history of PPI medication was examined. A propensity score overlap-weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the overlap-weighted odds ratios (ORs) of PPI use for stroke (study I) and IHD (study II). Current PPI use was linked with higher odds for stroke in study I. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 0.96 [95% CI = 0.92-1.00] < 1.55 [1.50-1.61] < 1.62 [1.57-1.68] for < 30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Previous PPI use was linked with higher odds for IHD in study II. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 1.13 [95% CI = 1.08-1.18] < 2.12 [2.04-2.21] < 2.60 [2.51-2.69] for <30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Current PPI medication is associated with a high risk of stroke and IHD. A longer duration of PPI medication was related to a higher risk of stroke and IHD. However, a prior history of PPI medication was not linked with a high risk of stroke or IHD.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis, which mainly affects populations in Latin America. Benznidazole is used to control the disease, with severe effects in patients receiving this chemotherapy. Previous studies have demonstrated the inhibition of triosephosphate isomerase from T. cruzi, but cellular enzyme inhibition has yet to be established. This study demonstrates that rabeprazole inhibits both cell viability and triosephosphate isomerase activity in T. cruzi epimastigotes. Our results show that rabeprazole has an IC50 of 0.4 µM, which is 14.5 times more effective than benznidazole. Additionally, we observed increased levels of methyl-glyoxal and advanced glycation end products after the inhibition of cellular triosephosphate isomerase by rabeprazole. Finally, we demonstrate that the inactivation mechanisms of rabeprazole on triosephosphate isomerase of T. cruzi can be achieved through the derivatization of three of its four cysteine residues. These results indicate that rabeprazole is a promising candidate against American trypanosomiasis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide and have changed the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, these drugs have been associated with several potentially serious adverse reactions if used chronically. Guidelines from the American College of Gastroenterology in 2021 and the American Gastroenterological Association's 2022 clinical practice updates reflect the latest recommendations. This article reviews the management and treatment of GERD and the adverse reactions to long-term PPI use.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most prescribed and widely used medications; however, the long-term effects of these medications are only beginning to be investigated. Since the introduction of omeprazole in 1989, PPIs have become the first-choice treatment for esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease, Zoster-Ellison syndrome, dyspepsia, and the prevention of ulcers with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Recent studies have specifically examined the rise in celiac disease (CD) in this context. This review explores how PPIs may impact the development of CD and highlights the need for additional research into the environmental and genetic factors that influence the development and progression of the disease. A literature search was performed using the keywords celiac disease, proton pump inhibitors, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2, HLA-DQ8. The pathogenesis of CD is multifactorial, and human leukocyte antigens are one factor that may contribute to its development. Additionally, pharmaceuticals, such as PPIs, that cause gut dysbiosis have been linked to the inflammatory response present in CD. Recent studies have suggested that the rise in CD could be attributed to changes in the gut microbiome, highlighting the significant role that gut microbiota is proposed to play in CD pathogenesis. Although PPI therapy is helpful in reducing acid production in gastroesophageal disorders, additional information is needed to determine whether PPIs are still an appropriate treatment option with the possibility of developing CD in the future, particularly in the context of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 predispositions. This review emphasizes the importance of personalized medicine for individuals with gastroesophageal disorders that require long-term use of PPIs.

Abstract
In 2022, we opened an outpatient clinic for the management of polypharmacy and potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in patients with mycobacterial infection (called GAP-MyTB). All patients who underwent a GAP-MyTB visit from March 2022 to March 2023 were included in this retrospective analysis. Fifty-two patients were included in the GAP-MyTB database. They were given 10.4 ± 3.7 drugs (2.8 ± 1.0 and 7.8 ± 3.9 were, respectively, antimycobacterial agents and co-medications). Overall, 262 pDDIs were identified and classified as red-flag (2%), orange-flag (72%), or yellow-flag (26%) types. The most frequent actions suggested after the GAP-MyTB assessment were to perform ECG (52%), therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM, 40%), and electrolyte monitoring (33%) among the diagnostic interventions and to reduce/stop proton pump inhibitors (37%), reduce/change statins (14%), and reduce anticholinergic burden (8%) among the pharmacologic interventions. The TDM of rifampicin revealed suboptimal exposure in 39% of patients that resulted in a TDM-guided dose increment (from 645 ± 101 to 793 ± 189 mg/day, p < 0.001). The high prevalence of polypharmacy and risk of pDDIs in patients with mycobacterial infection highlights the need for ongoing education on prescribing principles and the optimal management of individual patients. A multidisciplinary approach involving physicians and clinical pharmacologists could help achieve this goal.

Abstract
Background and aim Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a heavily prescribed medication in the United States that is used to treat several gastrointestinal disorders. Although it has been considered to be safe compared to other medications, multiple gastrointestinal side effects have been reported. These effects of PPIs might stem from the progressive alteration of the intestinal microbiome. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using PPI are also seen to be less likely to achieve remission. However, in the current literature, there is very little evidence of the risk of developing IBD in patients who have been using PPIs. Therefore, our aim was to perform a cross-sectional population-based study with in-depth analysis to assess the prevalence and risk factors of IBD amongst PPI users in the United States. Methodology A validated multicenter and research platform database of more than 360 hospitals from 26 different healthcare systems across the United States was utilized to construct this study. A cohort of patients with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) between 1999-2022 was identified using the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT). Patients aged 18 to 65 years were included. We excluded any individual who had a diagnosis of chronic liver disease, autoimmune disease (excluding IBD), or cancer. The risk of IBD was calculated using a multivariate regression analysis to account for potential confounders including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use, smoking, patients who have had a diagnosis of alcoholism, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic syndrome. A two-sided P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant, and all statistical analyses were performed using R version 4.0.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria, 2008). Results A total of 79,984,328 individuals were screened in the database and 45,586,150 patients were selected in the final analysis after accounting for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using multivariate regression analysis, the risk of developing UC and CD was calculated. The odds of having UC amongst patients on PPI was 2.02 (95%CI 1.98-2.06), P-value <0.001. Similarly, the odds of having CD were high amongst PPI users (OR 2.79, 95%CI 2.75-2.84), P- value <0.001 Conclusion Our study demonstrates that patients on PPIs are frequently found to have UC and CD even when adjusting for common risk factors. Hence, we urge clinicians to be aware of this association in order to limit unnecessary prescriptions of PPIs, especially for patients who are at risk for autoimmune diseases.

The Impact of Proton Pump Inhibitors on the Development of Gastric Neoplastic Lesions in Patients With Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis. Front Immunol 2022; 13:910077. [PMID: 35935934 PMCID: PMC9353125 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.910077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been widely prescribed as a primary treatment for acid-related disorders. A large body of literature reported several adverse outcomes due to PPI therapy, including an increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). Autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AAG) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the oxyntic mucosa, leading to mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and reduced gastric acid secretion, up to the possible development of dysplasia and intestinal-type GC. Whether PPI use may increase the GC risk in AAG patients has not yet been investigated. We conducted a case–control study in AAG patients to assess the association between the PPI use before AAG diagnosis and the development of GC at follow-up (FU). Materials and Methods Patients were included from a prospective cohort of AAG patients (diagnosed 1992–2021) in a referral center for gastric autoimmunity; all patients adhered to an endoscopic–histological FU program according to Management of precancerous conditions and lesions in the stomach (MAPS) I/II (management of epithelial precancerous conditions) guidelines. At diagnosis, clinical/biochemical data and PPI use before AAG diagnosis (withdrawn at the time of diagnosis), for at least 12 months, were evaluated. Patients who developed gastric neoplastic lesions (GNLs) at FU were considered as cases; patients without a diagnosis of GNLs at FU were considered as controls. At a total FU of 2.3 years (1–13), 35 cases were identified, and controls were matched 2:1 by age ( ± 3 years), gender, and years of FU (n=70); therefore, a total of n=105 patients were included in the study. Results The proportion of PPI users before AAG diagnosis was significantly higher in cases than in controls (54.3% vs. 18.6%, p<0.001). At logistic regression, considering as a dependent variable the development of GNLs at FU, a positive association was shown for PPI use before AAG diagnosis (OR 9.6, 95%CI 2.3–40.3), while other independent variables as the use of antiplatelets/anticoagulants (OR 2.8, 95%CI 0.7–12.0), age ≥ 50 years (OR 2.0, 95%CI 0.2–18.1), 1st-degree family history for GC (OR 2.4, 95%CI 0.4–15.2), and smoking habit (OR 0.4, 95%CI 0.1–2.1) were not associated. Conclusions PPI use before the diagnosis of AAG appears to considerably increase the risk of subsequent GNL development. Considering the common misuse of PPIs, physicians should regularly reevaluate the appropriateness of ongoing PPI therapy, in particular in patients with a clinical suspicion of or already diagnosed AAG.

Abstract
Inappropriate prescribing in the elderly is a risk factor for higher adverse drugs reactions, hospitalisation, and mortality rates. Therefore, it is necessary to identify irrational prescriptions and implement interventions to improve geriatric clinical practices in nursing homes. This study aimed to examine and compare the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications in nursing home residents using three different updated criteria: 2019 Beers criteria, PRISCUS list, and v2 STOPP criteria, and to determine the prevalence of potential prescribing omissions according to v2 START criteria. A descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 218 residents were involved in this study. Data on drug use were collected from medical charts. Information was screened with the software CheckTheMeds. Potentially inappropriate medications were present in 96.3%, 90.8%, and 35.3% of residents, according to the STOPP, Beers, and PRISCUS criteria or list, respectively. Inappropriate medication was found to be significantly associated with polypharmacy and severe or moderate drug–drug interactions with the three tools and with pathologies and unnecessary drugs only for STOPP criteria. The most frequent inappropriate medications were benzodiazepines and proton pump inhibitors. A regular use of software to review medications in nursing home residents would help to reduce the risk of these drug-related problems.

Abstract
At present, 19.2% of the Spanish population is aged 65 or older. Polypharmacy is a frequent condition among the elderly, especially in those living in nursing homes, which is associated with adverse outcomes, such as adverse drug events or drug-drug interactions. This study aimed to assess the pattern of polypharmacy in a nursing home in Leon, one of Spain's most ageing regions, and its relationship with different drug-related problems. A descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study design was used; 222 residents were involved in this study. Data on drug use were collected from medical charts. Information was screened with the software CheckTheMeds, BOT PLUS and Drug-Reax. Residents were on a median of 7 medicines. Polypharmacy and inappropriate medications were present in 78.8% and 96.8% of residents, respectively. Drug-related problems were present in almost all the populations evaluated. Drug-drug interactions were very common in participants (81.1%), being severe/moderate in 24.7%. A high prevalence of polypharmacy and drug-related problems in the nursing home population assessed has been observed. A significantly higher risk of suffering drug-drug interactions was revealed for increasing polypharmacy and anticholinergic risk. A regular evaluation of drug prescribing in nursing home residents is necessary to minimize drug-related problems risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the incidence and prevalence of duodenal and gastric ulcers have been declining, it remains challenging for health care systems. Based on the underlying cause, history, and characteristics of ulcers, management is generally provided by administering proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or antibiotics. AREAS COVERED This article is based on global guidelines and English language literature from the past decade obtained through searches using PubMed, Clinicaltrials.gov, the US FDA, and the Cochrane library. Using a stepwise approach, dose and duration of treatment, drug interactions, warnings and contraindications, adverse effects, and administration points were specified. New drug candidates that may get American and European approvals were also introduced. EXPERT OPINION Despite the wide use of PPIs, their development lags behind the clinical need. There is an absolute requirement to develop third-generation PPIs with higher potency and improved pharmacokinetic and safety profiles. Regarding the antibiotic resistance crisis, including those used against H. pylori, conducting more clinical trials and investigating regional antibiotic resistance are warranted. Potassium competitive acid blockers, ilaprazole, and an H. pylori vaccine all show promise for the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are often elderly, with comorbidities, and receiving polypharmacy, all of which are known factors for potentially severe drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and the prescription of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the risk of DDIs and PIMs in COVID-19 patients at hospital discharge. METHOD Patients with a proven diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection who were hospitalized between 21 February and 30 April 2020, treated with at least two drugs, and with available information regarding pharmacological treatments upon admission and at discharge were considered. The appropriateness of drug prescriptions was assessed using INTERcheck®. RESULTS A significant increase in the prescription of proton pump inhibitors and heparins was found when comparing admission with hospital discharge (from 24 to 33% [p < 0.05] and from 1 to 17% [p < 0.01], respectively). The increased prescription of heparins at discharge resulted in a highly significant increase in the potentially severe DDIs mediated by this class of drugs. 51% of COVID-19 patients aged > 65 years had at least one PIM upon admission, with an insignificant increment at discharge (58%). CONCLUSION An increased number of prescribed drugs was observed in COVID-19 patients discharged from our hospital. The addition of heparins is appropriate according to the current literature, while the use of proton pump inhibitors is more controversial. Particular attention should be paid to the risk of bleeding complications linked to heparin-based DDIs.

Abstract
Objective We developed and validated a simple, convenient and reproducible method for simultaneous estimation of six proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole (OPZ), esomeprazole (EOPZ), lansoprazole (LPZ), pantoprazole (PPZ), rabeprazole (RPZ) and ilaprazole (IPZ) in pharmaceutical dosage forms by a single marker. Meanwhile, the stability of the cited PPIs in 0.9% sodium chloride injection stored in polypropylene syringes up to 48 hours for continuous infusion use was investigated. Materials and Methods The chromatographic separation was achieved on an InterSustain® C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The isocratic mobile phase made up of 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.0): acetonitrile (65:35, v/v) was pumped through the column at a temperature maintained at 30°C and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The relative retention time, UV spectral similarity and relative correction factors between OPZ and the other five PPIs were calculated and investigated using the quantitative analysis of multi-components with a single marker (QAMS) method. The stability study examined physical parameters, pH values and drug concentrations of the PPIs mixtures. Results Under these conditions, all cited PPIs were separated simultaneously at a retention time of 6.0, 7.3, 7.3, 9.9, 12.5 and 13.9 min for RPZ, OPZ, EOPZ, IPZ, PPZ and LPZ, respectively, with a total run time less than 20.0 min. Comparative analysis results indicated that there were no significant differences observed between the QAMS method and the external standard method. The percentage of initial concentration of each PPI gradually decreased during the storage time. Conclusion The proposed method, which is selective, economical and accurate, was applied successfully for determination of the cited PPIs in their respective pharmaceutical dosage forms. Admixtures of OPZ, EOPZ, PPZ, IPZ in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were stable for 24 hours and LPZ, RPZ in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were stable for 8 hours in polypropylene syringes.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are proven medications of choice for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid-related disorders, erosive esophagitis, Barrett esophagus, prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding while on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, eosinophilic esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease, stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill patients, and other indications. Best practice guidelines from several sources on the appropriate indications and duration of PPI therapy have been summarized for easy assimilation. Individualized decision with regard to PPI use is illustrated by case vignettes; best approaches are provided. The significant increase in use of PPIs for ill-defined indications over the years, associated adverse outcomes with long-term use, and consequent increase in health care costs have drawn much attention. Adverse outcomes due to PPI therapy may be categorized as unrelated or related to gastric acid inhibition. Examples of outcomes unrelated to acid inhibition include allergic reactions, acute interstitial nephritis, chronic kidney disease, poor cardiovascular outcomes, dementia, and drug interactions; consequences of acid inhibition include gastrointestinal infections, pneumonia, nutrient deficiencies, fractures, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Provider awareness regarding best practice guidelines on PPI use and imparting pertinent education to patients may be the rational approach to safe and effective PPI therapy. In individuals in whom the drug is not indicated, efforts at deprescribing the PPI may be attempted following discussion with the patient. Approaches include stopping the drug, reducing the dose or using "on-demand" therapy after completing the course of treatment for the specific indication. Barriers to successful deprescribing exist. Follow-up is recommended for recurrence of manifestations; in the event of recurrence, the PPI may need to be re-instituted. PPIs are valuable, irreplaceable drugs in the prevention and treatment of certain disorders for specific durations of time. Evidence nevertheless suggests that excessive and inappropriately prolonged use of PPIs is associated with a broad range of adverse effects. Education of provider and patient, stewardship, and motivation are key to appropriate use of PPIs for the right indications. Key implications for practice are offered.

Abstract
Background Patients hospitalised with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19)] infection are frequently older with co-morbidities and receiving polypharmacy, all of which are known risk factors for drug–drug interactions (DDIs). The pharmacological burden may be further aggravated by the addition of treatments for COVID-19. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the risk of potential DDIs upon admission and during hospitalisation in patients with COVID-19 treated at our hospital. Methods We retrospectively analysed 502 patients with COVID-19 (mean age 61 ± 16 years, range 15–99) treated at our hospital with a proven diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalised between 21 February and 30 April 2020 and treated with at least two drugs. Results Overall, 68% of our patients with COVID-19 were exposed to at least one potential DDI, and 55% were exposed to at least one potentially severe DDI. The proportion of patients experiencing potentially severe DDIs increased from 22% upon admission to 80% during hospitalisation. Furosemide, amiodarone and quetiapine were the main drivers of potentially severe DDIs upon admission, and hydroxychloroquine and particularly lopinavir/ritonavir were the main drivers during hospitalisation. The majority of potentially severe DDIs carried an increased risk of cardiotoxicity. No potentially severe DDIs were identified in relation to tocilizumab and remdesivir. Conclusions Among hospitalised patients with COVID-19, concomitant treatment with lopinavir/ritonavir and hydroxychloroquine led to a dramatic increase in the number of potentially severe DDIs. Given the high risk of cardiotoxicity and the scant and conflicting data concerning their efficacy in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection, the use of lopinavir/ritonavir and hydroxychloroquine in patients with COVID-19 with polypharmacy needs to be carefully considered.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most common medications taken by patients worldwide. PPIs are used to treat acid-related disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug/stress ulceration. For some of these diseases, long-term treatment is necessary. With such prolonged use, concern and investigation into potential adverse effects has increased. In addition, data are available regarding potential anticancer effects of PPIs, especially regarding solid tumors. The aim of this review is to assess the literature on PPIs with regard to common concerns, such as drug-drug interactions, the intestinal microbiome, dementia and central nervous system disease, and osteoporosis, as well as to highlight potential negative and positive impacts of the drug in cancer.
