Summary
Mastering PPIs in General Practice: Navigating Risks, Deprescribing, and Red Flags Are you confidently prescribing Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), or do media headlines about gastric cancer and dementia leave you and your patients anxious? In this episode, from education partner MyHealth Academy, we are joined by Dr. Hunter Wang, a leading gastroenterologist, to cut through the noise surrounding one of primary care's most prescribed medications. This practical masterclass will provide primary care clinicians with an evidence-based approach to the prescribing, monitoring, and deprescribing of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). The podcast will explore appropriate indications for PPI initiation, the real risks associated with long-term use, and strategies to address inappropriate prescribing in everyday practice. Listeners will also gain practical guidance on tapering and deprescribing PPIs, managing rebound symptoms, recognising PPI non-responders, and identifying alarm features requiring timely gastroenterology referral. Designed for GPs and primary care clinicians, this session will support safer, more targeted, and patient-centred management of acid suppression therapy.
