Article Synopsis
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed for acid-related disorders, but their long-term effects on bone health are becoming a concern.
- A review of 27 studies found a significant increase in fracture risks, particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist, as well as changes in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) among PPI users, despite uncertainty about the clinical impact.
- The evidence also suggested risks of hypomagnesemia and dental implant failures in PPI users, but the overall confidence in these findings was rated as very low to low, indicating a need for more rigorous studies.
