Orally

esophagitis in rats - Med Sci Monit. 2011 Dec 22;18(1):BR9-15 -

effect on the esophagitis, while L-arginine and glycine are highly
protective" - See

Effect
of alpha-tocopherol, N-acetylcysteine and omeprazole on esophageal
adenocarcinoma formation in a rat surgical model - Int J Cancer. 2008
Oct 20 - "oxidative stress subsequent to
gastroesophageal reflux is an important driving force of esophageal
adenocarcinoma (EAC) formation in the esophagogastroduodenal anastomosis
(EGDA) rat model. This study investigated the possible tumor inhibitory
effects of 2 antioxidants, alpha-tocopherol (389 and 778 ppm), N-acetylcysteine
(NAC, 500 and 1,000 ppm), and their combination (389 and 500 ppm,
respectively), as well as an antacid therapeutic agent, omeprazole (1,400
ppm) ... alpha-Tocopherol dose-dependently decreased the incidence of EAC (p
= 0.03), with 778 ppm alpha-tocopherol reducing the incidence of EAC to 59%
(16/27) in comparison with 84% (26/31) in the control group (p = 0.04).
Supplementation of alpha-tocopherol also increased the serum concentration
of alpha-tocopherol. NAC at 500 and 1,000 ppm did not significantly decrease
EAC incidence; however, the combination of alpha-tocopherol 389 ppm and NAC
500 ppm significantly reduced the incidence of EAC to 55% (15/27) (p =
0.02). alpha-Tocopherol alone or in combination with NAC significantly
reduced the number of infiltrating cells positively stained for
4-hydroxynonenal. Omeprazole showed only a slight nonsignificant inhibitory
effect at the dose given"

Long-Term PPI Use
Associated With Low Magnesium - Medscape, 3/2/11 - "Long-term use of
prescription proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) can be associated with hypomagnesemia,
which can in turn cause serious muscle spasms (tetany), arrhythmias, and
seizures, but may instead be asymptomatic ... In about 25% of cases reported to
and reviewed by the FDA, magnesium supplementation alone was insufficient for
correcting hypomagnesemia ... The drugs in question include esomeprazole
magnesium (Nexium, AstraZeneca), dexlansoprazole (Dexilant, Takeda), omeprazole
(Prilosec, Astra-Zeneca; also available OTC), omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate (Zergerid,
AstraZeneca; also available OTC), lansoprazole (Prevacid, Novartis; also
available OTC) pantoprazole soidum (Protonix, Wyeth/Pfizer; and generics)

Surgery without incisions for heartburn - Science Daily, 2/14/11 -
"The procedure is called the Transoral Incisionless
Fundoplication, or TIF, which uses the EsophyX® device and is performed
without incisions ... the TIF procedure, on the other hand, is an option for
those patients who do not do well on daily medications or those who have
concerns about the implications of lifelong pill therapy like cost and side
effects ... The TIF procedure recreates the anti-reflux barrier between the
esophagus and stomach and is performed trans-orally (through the mouth),"
... TIF can reduce patients' dependency on medications with 80 percent of
patients remaining off their daily medications after two years and
experiencing an improvement in their quality of life. After the TIF
procedure, clinical trials show that many patients can eat and drink foods
they avoided for years"

Unexpected Consequences Of Proton Pump Inhibitor Use In Reflux Disease -
Science Daily, 11/11/09 - "there are many unexpected
consequences and side effects from this class of drugs. They can include:
increased rates of hip fractures, possibly related to altered calcium
absorption; possible but yet unproven altered vitamin B12 and iron
absorption, related to alteration of the gastric pH; increased odds of
acquiring nosocomial Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea; and
increased odds of contracting community-acquired pneumonia"

"Long-term use of H2 blockers, including Axid,
Pepcid, Tagamet, and Zantac, may increase the risk of mental decline in
later life ... Patients had two to two-and-a-half times the odds of having a
deficit in their cognitive performance ... by blocking stomach acid, H2

for mental function"
- Heartburn
drugs tied to hip fracture - MSNBC, 12/26/06 -
"The researchers speculated that
when the drugs reduce acid in the stomach, they also make it more difficult
for the body to absorb bone-building calcium. That can lead to weaker bones
and fractures ... The biggest risk was seen in people who took high doses of
the drugs for more than a year. That group had a 2½ times greater risk of
hip fractures than nonusers"
