Are Acid Reflux Medications Safe? Dr. Gill Explains PCAB & PPI Therapy

Heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD affect millions of people, and medications that reduce stomach acid have been used successfully for many years. However, concerns about Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) have led many patients to question whether these medicines are safe and whether newer alternatives are available. In this video, Prof. Dr. Muzaffar Latif Gill discusses a newer class of acid-suppressing medications known as Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers (PCABs). He explains how these medications work, their role in managing acid-related disorders, and how they compare with traditional PPIs. Dr. Gill also addresses an important point often missed in public discussions: when prescribed appropriately and monitored by healthcare professionals, Proton Pump Inhibitors remain effective and valuable treatment options for many patients. Understanding the condition, the available therapies, and the importance of medical guidance can help patients make better decisions about their digestive health.
