A member asked:
What serious side effects are possible with prolonged use of lanzoprazole? i am in process of giving regular gaps in taking this medication.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many side effects: Prolonged use of PPIs ( lansoprazole is one of them) can cause bone demineralization,enteric infections, community acquired pneumonia & reduced circulating VitaminB12 levels. Try deglycyrrhizinated licorice- DGL- does not cause elevation of BP.- 1-2 tablets 4-6 times daily to be chewed as needed. Get DGL from reputable source like Willner chemists in NY,NY.Can use pure aloe liq for discomfort.
