39>I read in an insert of anti-peptic ulcer drug "preclude malignancy before starting medication". Does it imply that these medicines may cause cancer?
Reply:Proton pump inhibitors have some link, but I have not ran accross anything worrisome for drugs like pepcid or zantac which act by a different mechanism to block acid secretion.
Avoiding caffeine and alcohol which can promote acid secretion, and coffee which has inflammatory oils which promote ulcers are things to decrease the need for acid reducers.
Reply:NEVER
Reply:I think you may have misunderstood. It must have meant..."make sure you don't have cancer before starting the meds".
