Does Pantoprazole affect bone density and could long-term use of this medication potentially lead to bone-related issues such as osteoporosis or fractures, especially in older patients?
1. Long-term use of Pantoprazole may decrease calcium absorption, potentially leading to reduced bone density and increased risk of fractures in elderly patients.
2. Studies suggest prolonged Pantoprazole use can enhance osteoporosis risk by affecting calcium metabolism, heightening fracture concerns in older adults.
