Hello, I have been taking pantoprazole twice a day for a few years and I am starting to do osteoporosis. Can this drug be involved, since I am only 50 years old?

It is important to closely monitor people with osteoporosis or at risk of osteoporosis to ensure their calcium and vitamin D intake is optimal. Pantoprazole may increase the risk of hip, wrist and vertebral fractures, especially if used long-term. In most cases, pantoprazole should only be used for 1 to 3 months, but for some problems, it may be necessary to take it long-term. It is important to assess the relevance of your pantoprazole-based treatment. Your pharmacist and doctor can help you. Good luck. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
