To get the most benefit, take it regularly at the same time each day. Continue the full course even if you feel better, as stopping too soon may cause symptoms to return. Along with treatment, avoid irritants such as alcohol, tobacco, and spicy or acidic foods. Eat smaller, more frequent meals and do not lie down immediately after eating.The most common side effects include headache, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and gas. These are generally mild and often go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. If diarrhea is severe, persistent, or watery, inform your doctor. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can help reduce discomfort.Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have liver disease or any kidney problems. Long-term or high-dose use may increase the risk of bone fractures, low vitamin B12 or magnesium levels, or fundic gland polyps in the stomach. Therefore, the medicine should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
