Does Pantoprazole affect red blood cell count and should patients monitor for any hematologic changes, such as anemia, when using this medication long-term for acid reflux or ulcers?
Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, can rarely lead to decreased vitamin B12 absorption, which may result in anemia, especially with long-term use. Monitoring blood levels is advisable.
