Are there any long term effects of taking GERD medications?

With the use of PPIs and H2 blockers, typically a 2 week course is what is recommended. Certainly by the FDA in terms of treatment for GERD symptoms and then stopping that. Most of these medications now have become over-the-counter. So that is the regimen that would typically be recommended on these over-the-counter PPIs or H2 blockers - is a 2 week treatment & then coming off of them to see if the GERD symptoms have resolved. If they have not resolved, typically, that would then require a patient to be under a doctor's treatment for a prolonged treatment with these medications.

There certainly are risks with taking these medications long term. Women are more at risk for developing things like osteoporosis, because calcium absorption can be affected by that. There's a little bit of a higher risk of developing things like infection, especially lung infections. And there are some concerns about developing the risk of other cancers long term as well.

It's an individual treatment plan for each patient with the physician. But that should really be under a physician's care.

Avastin® (Bevacizumab) is a biolgic cancer drug that binds two growth factors in your body to prevent new blood vessels from forming. Some of the major side effects are vascular, including high blood pressure, nose bleeds, and rarely stroke and heart attack. Bowel perforation is also a possible serious side effect.

Transcript:
Very commonly administered drug, Avastin. Bevacizumab, been around about 15 years now. A biologic. The way it works is it binds to growth factors in your body that prevent new blood vessels from forming. So the idea here is that cancers can't grow, they can't metastasize if they can't get access to the blood vessels. And it does do that, but it has side effects and some of the major side effects are vascular side effects, right?

So high blood pressure, nose bleed, rarely stroke, heart attack can be seen. The one we worry about the most around here is bowel perforation or fistulas. So if there's a lot of cancer in your abdominal cavity and the cancer responds, it might leave a hole so the bowel no longer is in tact and it can sow stool contents out into your abdominal cavity. So none of us likes that. Fortunately, all those scary side effects of stroke, heart attack, and fistula bowel perforation are quite rare, so do watch out for them and talk with your doc about them.

So generally speaking, pretty safe drug to add to the other chemotherapy drugs. Doesn't really work by itself, needs to be part of the recipe for the treatment of your cancer.

Are There Alternatives To Combination Inhalers? In this informative video, we will discuss various alternatives to combination inhalers for managing chronic respiratory conditions. Combination inhalers are commonly prescribed, but they may not be the best fit for everyone. We will explore different options available for patients, including single-agent inhalers and various formulations.

You’ll learn about the benefits of using separate inhalers for each medication type, which can allow for customized dosing. For those with milder symptoms, we will highlight the use of short-acting bronchodilators that provide quick relief when needed. Additionally, we will cover the latest developments in inhaler technology, including triple therapy inhalers that combine multiple medications in one device, as well as new rescue inhalers that offer both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects.

Throughout this discussion, we will also touch on important factors to consider when choosing the right inhaler, such as symptom control, ease of use, patient preferences, and cost. Understanding these alternatives can help you make informed decisions about your respiratory health. Join us for this engaging discussion, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more helpful information on managing respiratory conditions.

Please see Important Safety Information, including Boxed WARNING, and U.S. Full Prescribing Information at https://bit.ly/CAMZYOSpi and Medication Guide at https://bit.ly/CAMZYOSMedGuide.

Learn more about CAMZYOS at https://www.camzyos.com.

CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). CAMZYOS may improve your symptoms and your ability to be active. It is not known if CAMZYOS is safe and effective in children.

WARNING: RISK OF HEART FAILURE

CAMZYOS may cause serious side effects, including:
Heart failure, a condition where the heart cannot pump with enough force, is a serious condition that can lead to death. You must have echocardiograms before you take your first dose and during your treatment with CAMZYOS to help your healthcare provider understand how your heart is responding to CAMZYOS. People who develop a serious infection or irregular heartbeat have a greater risk of heart failure during treatment with CAMZYOS. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop new or worsening shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, swelling in your legs, a racing sensation in your heart (palpitations), or rapid weight gain.

The risk of heart failure is also increased when CAMZYOS is taken with certain other medicines. Tell your healthcare provider about the medicines you take, both prescribed and obtained over-the-counter, before and during treatment with CAMZYOS.

Because of the serious risk of heart failure, CAMZYOS is only available through a restricted program called the CAMZYOS Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. Before you take CAMZYOS, you must enroll in the CAMZYOS REMS Program.

Kim was always a very active person. She was into sports and dance, and she loved playing softball. But she started to notice symptoms that forced her to adjust her lifestyle. Palpitations, chest pain, and tiredness—symptoms she initially dismissed as anxiety or depression—sidelined her from her favorite activities. It wasn’t until years later, at a routine checkup, when she had an irregular echocardiogram and was referred to a cardiologist who diagnosed her with symptomatic obstructive HCM. When her symptoms advanced to the point where she became eligible for SRT, she asked her cardiologist about CAMZYOS. Together, they decided it was the right option for her.
