Why don't proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) always work for what we think is "reflux"? What are the risks of long term proton pump inhibitors? What is the difference between reflux disease and dyspepsia? Why is it difficult to get some patients off proton pump inhibitors?

Join Dr. Peter Buch as he answers these questions and much more in a case-based, practical, very interactive and fun seminar.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the important clinical distinctions between gastroesophageal reflux disease and dyspepsia
Describe the risks of chronic PPI use
Demonstrate when and how to best taper patients off PPIs
