Common Drugs Can Rewire Your Gut For Several Years, Study Finds
Our gut is home to tiny creatures that aid digestion, protect against harm, and communicate with the brain.
Medications disrupt this balance, and a new study reveals this impact can last for years, not just temporarily.
It's not just antibiotics, but other common medications like psycholeptics, antidepressants, proton pump inhibitors, and beta-blockers that cause intestinal changes.
"The effect of drug usage has been underestimated,"
a team led by genomicist Oliver Aasmets from the University of Tartu in Estonia writes.
The effects of these drugs are detectable several years after use.
Author's summary: Drugs rewire gut for years.
