Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Report liver problems, 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 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 regarding treatment length, as it varies by individual needs. Never discontinue this medication without first consulting your doctor.
Long-term 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 osteoporosis prevention 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, loss of appetite, 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; therefore, vitamin C supplementation isn't advised.
