The New Recommendations for Long Term PPI's

The United States Preventives Task Force also put up some new recommendations in 2022 around things that I think elderly patients really will probably be a little irritated with. They recommended against beta-carotene or vitamin E for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or cancer and they said there's insufficient evidence to support multivitamins for those reasons. Oral electrolyte or repletion is always going to be a better option because of the price differential so if unless there's some reason the patient can't take PO then consider like oral electrolyte or Repletion. The biggest complications we worry about are pneumonia C diff fractures and renal impairment again pneumonia creeps back up.
