Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Report any liver issues, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, black 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 past allergic skin reactions to this medication. It's not suitable for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.

Follow your doctor's instructions on how long to take this medication. Treatment length varies, so don't discontinue use without consulting your physician.
Long-term use can decrease calcium absorption, potentially causing osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fractures (hip, wrist, or 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, most notably 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 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 medication reduces. Vitamin B12 supplementation may therefore be necessary. The impact of reduced vitamin C levels is unclear, so 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 other heart medications (such as clopidogrel and digoxin), requiring close medical supervision if taken concurrently.
