Side Effects

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. If heartburn keeps returning after a course, or you notice weight loss, difficulty swallowing or black stools, see a doctor rather than continuing on your own.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
