Will taking ppi's cause long term problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decreased calcium: Newer studies shed light on the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis because of decreased absorption of calcium with long term use of proton pump inhibitors. For patients who are planned to be on ppi therapy or more than 3 months it is recommended to take supplemental calcium and vitamin d.
