Risk-benefit: No drug has ever been proven as safe if taken forever. Any visit with your current prescriber should question its effects or the main benefits it provides against its risk and/ or possible side effects that can be heightened by the presence of new diseases or new drugs. Otherwise time has the answer to your question.
