Report any liver issues, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, bloody stools, unexplained weight loss, swallowing difficulties, stomach pain, or indigestion to your doctor. Disclose all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Inform your doctor of any prior allergic skin reactions to this medicine. It's not suitable for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.

Prolonged use may cause osteoporosis due to reduced calcium absorption, increasing the risk of fractures (hip, wrist, spine). If you have osteoporosis or use corticosteroids (which increase osteoporosis risk), inform your doctor before starting treatment. Discuss preventative measures with your doctor; they may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use (over 3 months) may cause low blood magnesium, leading to fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, muscle twitching, or irregular heartbeat. Use exceeding one year increases the risk of bone fractures (hip, wrist, spine), stomach infections, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia, with symptoms including fatigue, weakness, paleness, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, appetite loss, gas, and neurological issues like numbness, tingling, and gait problems.
This medication can lower vitamin B12 and vitamin C levels. Because it reduces stomach acid, oral vitamin B12 absorption may be impaired, necessitating supplementation. However, the impact of reduced vitamin C is unclear, so supplementation isn't advised.
Individuals with heart conditions may use this medication as directed by their physician. Note that interactions with some cardiac medications (such as clopidogrel and digoxin) are possible, requiring close medical supervision if taken concurrently.
