Can Pantoprazole lead to vitamin B12 deficiency and if so, how does this impact overall health and the need for supplementation during long-term use of the medication?
Yes, long-term use of pantoprazole can reduce stomach acid, impairing B12 absorption. This may necessitate B12 supplementation to prevent deficiency-related anemia and nerve damage.
