Side effects
Common side effects include headache, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. Long-term use has been associated with reduced absorption of vitamin B12 and magnesium in some people.
Warnings & who should not take it
Tell your doctor if symptoms don't improve, or if you notice unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or vomiting blood - these need direct medical assessment rather than self-treatment. Long-term use should be periodically reviewed with your doctor rather than continued indefinitely without follow-up.
