Doctors: Prolonged use of medication for heartburn can be risky! Over 1 million Swedes take proton pump inhibitors (such as Omeprazole) for heartburn and reflux. Far too few are aware of the risks, doctors tell the Daily news, Dagens Nyheter, Sweden. These medications can lead to deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, and calcium, which in turn increases the risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures, intestinal infections, and pneumonia. They can also affect the body's ability to absorb other medications. Over-the-counter medications for heartburn should be used for a maximum of 2 weeks, according to the package leaflets. Despite being available without a prescription, pharmacies should provide more information about this upon purchase, according to the doctors. 💡Our tips: ✅ IQoro is a good treatment method for those who want to address the cause of their symptoms, don't want to take medication, or if acid-suppressing medications are not sufficiently helpful. ✅ Heartburn and reflux are caused by a weakened muscle: the diaphragm. Medications cannot strengthen muscles, but the neuromuscular treatment with IQoro can help you with that naturally and without side effects - 97% improves. ✅ There are many things you can do yourself to relieve heartburn, such as raising the head of the bed, sleeping on the left side, avoiding fatty foods, coffee, and alcohol. Reduce stress around mealtime: eat calmly, and chew food thoroughly. 🔍 To find out more visit: https://lnkd.in/dnjJzpiD 🗞 Read the article here (in Swedish): https://lnkd.in/dKWCzNPZ #Heartburn #Reflux #NaturalTreatment #IQoro #MYoroface #HealthyLiving #StayInformed #neuromusculartreatment
