Sommario
La profilassi con inibitore di pompa protonica (PPI) nei pazienti in concomitante trattamento steroideo o negli stati di ipercortisolismo è argomento ad oggi molto dibattuto in quanto, a differenza dell’accertato rischio trombotico correlato all’eccesso di glucocorticoidi, non ci sono dati certi sul rischio emorragico; pertanto, qualora quest’ultimo fosse assente, la profilassi con PPI, oltre a non apportare benefici gastroenterici, aumenterebbe anche il rischio di effetti collaterali correlati a questi farmaci.
