Frequently Asked Questions.
PPIs are used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid, including GORD, peptic ulcers and dyspepsia. They help reduce acid production and allow the digestive system to heal.
Some PPIs are available over the counter at low doses, but stronger versions require a prescription. At McQueen’s Pharmacy, we supply prescription-strength PPIs following a clinical assessment.
Most people can take PPIs safely alongside other medicines, but some interactions can occur. During your consultation, we’ll review all your current medications to check for potential issues.
PPIs are generally safe when used as directed, but long-term use has been associated with rare side effects such as vitamin deficiencies or bone health concerns. We monitor all patients to ensure safe and appropriate use.
