Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Inform your doctor of any liver issues, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, black stools, unexplained weight loss, dysphagia, stomach pain, or indigestion. Disclose all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Report any prior allergic skin reactions to this medicine. It's unsuitable for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
While diarrhea is a possible side effect for some, it's typically mild. However, persistent watery stools accompanied by stomach cramps and fever require immediate medical attention.
Follow your doctor's instructions on how long to take this medication. Treatment length varies, so always consult your doctor before stopping.
Prolonged use may decrease calcium absorption, potentially causing osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fractures (hip, wrist, spine). If you have osteoporosis or take corticosteroids (which increase osteoporosis risk), tell your doctor before starting treatment. Discuss preventative measures with your doctor; they may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use exceeding three months may cause side effects, most notably low blood magnesium, leading to fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, muscle twitching, or irregular heartbeat. Use beyond one year increases the risk of bone fractures (due to low blood calcium), particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine, as well as stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia, resulting in increased fatigue, weakness, paleness, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, appetite loss, gas, and neurological issues like numbness, tingling, and gait problems.
This medication can lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiencies. Oral vitamin B12 absorption requires stomach acid, which this medicine reduces. Vitamin B12 supplementation may be necessary. The impact of reduced vitamin C levels is unclear, so vitamin C supplements are not 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.
