Although rare, serious adverse reactions such as blood abnormalities, severe allergic reactions, liver function abnormalities, and severe skin reactions may occur, and if any unusual symptoms arise, immediate consultation with medical staff is necessary. Long-term use may require regular testing, and electrolyte abnormalities such as increased fracture risk and hypomagnesemia may occur, making periodic monitoring important. This drug inhibits gastric acid secretion, which could encourage bacterial proliferation in the gastrointestinal tract, slightly increasing the risk of infections such as diarrhea, so caution is advised. There are many interactions with other drugs; if other medications are being taken, it is essential to inform the healthcare provider. This is particularly important when taking anticoagulants, antiepileptics, and antidepressants.
