Not advised. Without going into much details, a proton pump inhibitor, as the name suggests, inhibits gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the release of H+ Hence, prolonged use of PPIs would result would impede/reduce the natural ability of the body to produce gastric acid, causing another problem
Next Steps
PPIs should be taken only under medical advise, and for not more than 7 days
