Ideally taken once daily, one hour pre-meal (preferably mornings), dosage is condition- and response-dependent. Continue as prescribed, even with rapid symptom resolution.

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 exceeding one year increases the risk of bone fractures (due to low blood calcium), particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine, alongside 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.
