Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
Proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole, and Esomeprazole are very effective medicines that reduce the stomach’s acid. However, if used long–term they can cause unwanted side effects.
Therefore, it is important that this treatment is reviewed regularly, and the dose reduced or stopped when appropriate.
Prescribed Bath and Shower Preparations
Brecon Medical Group Practice has been reviewing all patients prescribed bath and shower preparations on the advice of the Powys Teaching Health Board.
Reliable studies show that using emollient shower gels and pour-in bath additives is not as effective for managing skin symptoms as originally hoped, therefore their recommendation has been withdrawn.
