What are the potential long-term side effects and health risks associated with taking pantoprazole (Pantocid) 40 mg daily for three years to manage chronic epigastric pain and acidity?

Asked by Male, 30 · 9 days ago

While it is highly effective for chronic acidity, taking it daily for three years can sometimes make it harder for your body to absorb certain nutrients, like vitamin B12, calcium, and magnesium. There is also a small risk of kidney issues or gut infections. Please don't worry, as these risks are generally low. I highly recommend consulting your doctor. They can check your nutrient levels and see if you can safely lower your dose or switch to taking it only when needed.
