| Urheiluhullu | Toimiiko Koufmanin ehdottama happosalpaajista irrottautuminen? | 14.2.2021 11.07 |
| Koufman ehdottaa sivuillaan selkeää step-down menetelmää happosalpaajista. Hän on muutenkin todella kriittinen näitä lääkkeitä kohtaan. All suora copy-paste. Mitä olette mieltä tästä ja muutenkin ppi-kritiikistä? Onko joku kokeillut tätä ja minkälaisia kokemuksia tullut? https://jamiekoufman.com/is-it-safe-to-take-ppis-like-prilosec-and-nexium/ What?s the Best Way to Taper Off PPIs? The proper way to taper off PPIs is to switch to another safer class of acid-suppressive medication, called H2-antagonists (H2As). Today, the most commonly used H2As are Pepcid (famotidine) and Tagamet (cimetidine). Until recently, Zantac (ranitidine) was popular, but recent reports suggested that Zantac might have contained trace amounts of a carcinogen, so Zantac has been taken off the market. Pepcid and Tagamet have been tested and are safe: no carcinogens. Here?s how to taper off a PPI: H2As are available over the counter. Stop the PPI and instead take one of the H2As before each meal and before bed. Week 1: 4 pills per day (one before bed, one before each meal) Week 2: 3 pills per day (one before bed, one before lunch and dinner) Week 3: 2 pills per day (one before bed, one before dinner) Week 4: 1 pill per day (one before bed) Week 5: you?re pill-free Remember, while not quite as strong as PPIs, H2As are safe, with few side effects. |
