Fear is a much more potent motivator for many a patient (and the media) than is scientific analysis.<br /><br />I have recently published a review article about this very issue in the January 2011 issue of the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (http://www.ccjm.org/content/78/1/39.full). In the article I propose an algorithm that could help physicians rationally decide on the appropriateness of PPI therapy in a patient who requires Plavix. I hope that ACP members find the algorithm useful for their patients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323692122514281455.post-23252409294312009662011-05-31T09:51:02.814-04:002011-05-31T09:51:02.814-04:00Plavix has done wonders for me.

The combination of Plavix and PPi medicines is a burning matter, which is being treated very light headed by most organizations. it's about time we put this in our top priorities.

I have been known to pass along, to patients who have mild GERD symptoms and normal endoscopies, the old folk remedy of dilute apple cidar vinegar. People swear by it. Perhaps it has some sort of counterirritant effect. Who knows. <br /><br />I predict that we will see a rise in heretofore obsolete gastric resections and ulcer-related deaths. <br /><br />I'd be interested in your take on the matter.A.
