This drug is used to reduce gastric acid to prevent gastric or duodenal ulcers, but it is essential to obtain accurate diagnoses when malignancies are suspected. Reducing gastric acid may lead to an increase in bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, slightly raising the risk of infection, hence symptoms should be monitored carefully. Long-term use may increase the risk of fractures related to osteoporosis, so it is advisable to take this medication for the necessary minimum duration. Prolonged use of over 3 months may lower blood magnesium levels, so regular monitoring of serum magnesium levels is necessary for those using this medication long-term or taking other medications that may lower magnesium. Patients who need to continue taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should use this drug for the prevention of gastric ulcers, and it is important to check for any history of gastric ulcers before administration. This medication reduces gastric acid, which may affect the absorption of oral medications; therefore, caution is needed when taking it with certain other medications. Pregnant or nursing women are advised not to use this drug, and nursing mothers should discontinue breastfeeding.
