UK warns long-term omeprazole use may cause fractures, B12 deficiency, kidney problems, and infections.
UK health experts warn that using omeprazole, a common heartburn medication, for more than six months may pose health risks, including bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, kidney issues, and infections.
The drug, a proton pump inhibitor, is widely prescribed and available over the counter, with 73 million NHS prescriptions in England from 2022 to 2023.
While effective for short-term relief, prolonged use without medical supervision is discouraged.
The NHS advises consulting a doctor if symptoms persist beyond a few weeks and to reassess the need for continued use.
