Hello, I take medication for high blood pressure, arithmia, gastric reflux and eliquis. Since then, my nails are brittle, is it possible that it is the medication and if so, is there a solution? Thank you for your help!

Thank you for providing the names of your medications. After analyzing them, I believe that only one of them could be linked to the effects you describe, and the link is very weak. Pantoprazole, when taken for long periods of time, is associated with decreased absorption of magnesium and calcium, which could affect the strength of your nails. I suggest discussing with your pharmacist whether you could stop taking this medication, or take less. Have a good day.
