In particular, we will examine a new study that links PPI use, in comparison with H2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) use, with a significant increase in the risk of gastric cancer. This episode will highlight the importance of looking at PPIs on a medication review and evaluating whether patients are taking them for longer than needed.\n\xa0\nEpisode resource links:\nAbrahami D, McDonald EG, Schnitzer ME, et al.
