While antacids offer instant relief from acidity, doctors warn that long-term, unsupervised use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) is leading to a surge in chronic health complications.

Stomach acid is vital for nutrient absorption and pathogen defense. Chronic suppression of this acid can trigger a “cascade of issues,” including severe Vitamin B12 and Iron deficiencies, leading to anemia and nerve damage.

Furthermore, the loss of magnesium and potassium can cause dangerous heart rhythm disturbances. “The danger lies in treating antacids as lifestyle supplements,” warns Dr. Krishna Gopal Bhandari, Sr. Consultant Gastroenterologist. Experts advise a strict limit of 4–8 weeks for antacid use unless clinically directed.
