A member asked:
I have vitiligo and reduced thyroid function. recently i developed a peptic ulcer. will protein pump inhibitors have negative affects on my thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But chronic PPI use may have its own set of side effects. At the minimum, you will need to take magnesium supplement since PPI use decreases its absorption.
