Doesn't appear to: As with many modern, studied medications, Dexilant, (dexlansoprazole) a proton pump inhibitor, has a very long list of reported but very uncommon side effects. The only one occurring frequently enough to cause discontinuation was diarrhea. While some cardiovascular effects were reported RARELY, including dysrhythmia, the concerns are minimal. I wouldn't be concerned about weight gain or CV effects with this med.

Not described so far: completely blocks acid production in the stomach resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms & defective absorption of nutrients like calcium,magnesium,iron,Vitamin B12 etc. Long term use may result in osteoporosis.
