Side effects of Long-term use of antacids
Long-term utilize of antacids, however, can result in side
effects, including diarrhea, altered calcium metabolism (a change in the way
the body breaks down and uses calcium), and buildup of magnesium in the body.
Too much magnesium can be serious for patients with kidney disease. If antacids
are needed for more than 2 weeks, a doctor should be consulted.
