Inhibidores de la bomba de protones (IBP): hacia la prescripción racional.
2020
espanolLos IBP (Inhibidores de la bomba de protones) constituyen un grupo de farmacos empleados para suprimir la secrecion acida y cuyo consumo se ha disparado a nivel mundial por su consideracion como protectores gastricos. De hecho, figuran como los farmacos mas consumidos por la poblacion, generando un importante gasto sanitario y un potencial riesgo para la salud. Sin embargo, pese a su amplia experiencia de uso, no estan exentos de efectos adversos, algunos de ellos graves, por lo que se hace necesario controlar su correcta prescripcion y retirarlos cuando no esten realmente indicados. Es mision del especialista de digestivo concienciar a medicos y pacientes de esta necesidad, y por ello queremos contribuir con este documento de consenso elaborado por el Grupo Andaluz de Trastornos Funcionales Digestivos. EnglishPPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) constitute a group of drugs used to suppress acid secretion whose consumption has skyrocketed worldwide due to their consideration as gastric protectants. In fact, they are listed among the most commonly used drugs by population, resulting in significant health costs and a potential health risk. Despite extensive experience with their use, they are not free of side effects, some of them severe, which makes it necessary to assure appropriate prescription and to withdraw treatment when not medically indicated. It is the gastroenterologist's responsibility to make doctors and patients aware of this need. This consensus document by the Andalusian Group of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders aims to contribute to this goal.
