About Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI):

Nexium, Prilosec, Protonix, and Prevacid are drugs known as Proton-pump inhibitors (PPI).

Proton-pump inhibitors have been used to treat common stomach acid conditions like indigestion, dyspepsia, GERD, acid reflux disease, and peptic ulcers.

Several studies have linked these drugs, to an increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer.

There have been several lawsuits filed against the manufacturers of these drugs alleging that the manufacturers should have warned patients and their doctors about the risk of stomach and gastrointestinal cancer.
