Prolonged use exceeding three months may cause side effects, most notably low blood magnesium levels, 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, and neurological symptoms like 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.
