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, swallowing difficulties, stomach pain, or indigestion. Disclose all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Report any prior allergic skin reactions to this medicine. This medication is not for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
Yes, diarrhea is a possible side effect for some users. While usually mild, persistent watery stools accompanied by stomach cramps or fever require immediate medical attention.
Follow your doctor's instructions for the duration of treatment; this may vary. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing this medication.
Prolonged use can thin bones (osteoporosis) by reducing calcium absorption, increasing fracture risk (hips, wrists, 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 beyond three months may cause side effects, most significantly 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, loss of appetite, gas, or neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, and gait problems.
This medication can reduce vitamin B12 and vitamin C levels. Oral vitamin B12 absorption requires stomach acid, which this medicine reduces, potentially necessitating B12 supplementation. However, the impact of decreased vitamin C is unclear, so supplementation isn't advised.
Cardiac patients may use this medication as directed by their physician. However, potential drug interactions exist with some medications commonly used in cardiac care (such as clopidogrel and digoxin). Close physician monitoring is necessary for patients taking this medication concurrently with such drugs.
