The coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been a huge challenge, affecting directly or indirectly the human race worldwide. Many COVID-19-related risk factors have been identified. Various drugs, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), have been claimed to increase the risk of acquiring or affecting the outcome of COVID-19 prior to the availability of vaccines. The aim of this review was to summarize the uncertain role of PPI use on the SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 clinical course, including both some well-established and presumptive indications to these potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion, before vaccinations against COVID-19 were implemented on a massive scale.
