Long term use of Prilosec and other acid blockers
may cause PN through malabsorption of nutrients within the gastrointestinal tract. I took the stuff for 10 years and I'm paying the price now. Never once did the doctors warn me of the potential consequences of taking it long term.
I did notice on a recent Prilosec advertisement that they warned of the possibility of lowered magnesium levels while taking this drug so there is a greater awareness now. I have made gradual improvements the last couple of years since abstaining from this medicine and living a healhier life style. I rarely have heatburn anymore.
