Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most effective gastric secretion suppressors and are among the most widely prescribed and widely available drugs in the United States of America. In some cases they are prescribed without justification. In recent years, concerns have arisen over reports of major adverse reactions related to the use of PPIs. However, the quality of the evidence has not been conclusive, and in some cases the magnitude of the risk has not been clinically significant. The objective of this review is to present the available evidence regarding the most important adverse events related to PPIs
