Precautions
Esomeprazole is meant for a defined course, not indefinite daily use without review. Taking it for long periods can lower magnesium and vitamin B12 levels and may affect bone strength.

Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
