Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Report any liver issues, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, dark or 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 unsuitable for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.

Follow your doctor's instructions on how long to take this medication. The treatment period may differ based on your individual needs. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing this medicine.
Prolonged use may cause osteoporosis due to reduced calcium absorption, 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, who may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use beyond three months may cause side effects, primarily low blood magnesium, leading to fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, muscle twitching, or irregular heartbeat. Use exceeding one year increases the risk of bone fractures (due to low blood calcium), particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine, along with stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia, resulting in fatigue, weakness, paleness, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, appetite loss, gas, and neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and gait disturbances.
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, therefore vitamin C supplementation isn't advised.
Individuals with heart conditions may use this medication as directed by their physician. Note that it can interact with some cardiac medications (such as clopidogrel and digoxin), requiring close medical supervision if used concurrently.
