Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid are leading sellers among PPI drugs, an industry that exceeds 13 billion dollars annually.    ![HeartburnDrug-FandHLaw-PPI.png](https://www.fosterhoustonlaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HeartburnDrug-FandHLaw-PPI.png?width=606&height=149&name=HeartburnDrug-FandHLaw-PPI.png)   More than 15 million Americans use PPIs, according to CBS News. As many as 70 percent of PPI prescriptions have been handed out inappropriately, and 25 percent of long-term users could stop taking the medication without suffering increased heartburn or acid reflux.  Two recently published studies confirm a significant increased risk to patients taking PPIs of developing both acute and chronic kidney disease. Over time, chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure, which can lead to regular dialysis and the need for a kidney transplant.    ### Request A Free Case Review ### Hold liable parties responsible Manufacturers of PPIs have been on notice that heartburn drugs can cause kidney disease and injury for nearly a decade. However, it was not until December of 2014  that manufacturers changed package inserts and labels to warn the public of an association with PPIs and interstitial nephritis, diagnosed by kidney biopsy.  ![PPISupport.jpeg](https://www.fosterhoustonlaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PPISupport.jpeg?width=320&name=PPISupport.jpeg)   Contact The Law Offices of Foster & Houston immediately at (800) 341-4950 if you have used Nexium, Prilosec, or Prevacid and have experienced any of the following: - Chronic Kidney Disease - Acute Kidney Injury - Renal or Kidney Failure - Acute Interstitial Nephritis - Dialysis Treatment - Kidney Removal - Kidney Transplant - Kidney-Related Death ### Don't Wait, Take Action Now According to the American Society of Nephrology, use of PPIs to treat heartburn is linked to a 96% increased risk of kidney failure when compared to H2-blocker heartburn drugs.
