Using the PPI Deprescribing Algorithm - When to Reduce or Stop PPIs and How? 

I've been taking PPIs for 20 years. At no point did my doctor tell me it was a temporary medication. I've developed a B12 deficiency, irregular heart beat and my kidney function has declined. All this can be attributed to my PPI medications but, still my doctor failed to consider these things. Once you turn 50 years of age, they seem to write us off! I'm glad to see these posts and unfortunately in Canada (the land of free health care) it's up to me to be the doctor and delve into my health concerns. Despite the fact I exercise 5 days a week, eat well , not over weight and take my vitamins; my health has been affected by the lack of care by my doctor.

Informative video. ANNOYING ANIMATIONS

How long does rebound typically last?

Considering treatment of H. pylori should not be an option for GERD with refractory symptoms, which its the last patient

Very Informative Video. I have one question from the algorithm, If the patient was on long-term PPI for prevention of GI ulcer due to NSAIDs, after Surgery patient is no longer on NSAIDs, what could be the best approach for stopping PPI.

Thank you for the informative video. I just wanted to make a suggestion. The first patient ‘Derek’, his medication list includes B12. According to your pamphlets using a PPI can cause a B12 deficiency. The patient might be willing to go a little further in working to stop the PPI if you point out that after stopping the PPI, they might also be able to stop taking B12 as well. Following the patient’s indication that they wish to take less medications and possibly hitting two birds with one stone could have a greater impact.
