Can I stop taking PPIs after long-term use?

It is necessary to combine lifestyle management and Korean medicine treatment alongside gradual reduction (Tapering).

PPI(프로톤 펌프 억제제)를 장기간 복용하다 갑자기 끊으면, 억제되었던 위산 분비가 폭발적으로 늘어나는 산 반동(Acid Rebound) 현상이 발생할 수 있습니다.

  • 테이퍼링: 약의 용량을 서서히 줄이거나 복용 간격을 늘림
  • 병행 치료: 한약을 통해 위 기능을 강화하며 양약을 줄여나감
  • 기간: 보통 2-4주에 걸쳐 점진적으로 중단 시도
⚠️ 주의

자가 판단으로 약을 끊지 말고 반드시 의료진과 상의하여 계획을 세우세요.
