Can I take Acera with vitamin D?
Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Acera. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Acera as the long term use of Acera decreases the absorption of calcium and may lead to calcium deficiency. This can lead to osteoporosis (thinning of bones) and increase the risk of bone fractures like hip, wrist and spine fractures. Please consult your doctor to know about ways to prevent this.
What is Acera used for?
Acera is used for the treatment of stomach and intestinal ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers), reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It works by reducing the amount of acid made by your stomach and thus relieves your symptoms. Acera also prevents acidity associated with use of painkillers and stress ulcers in critically ill people. It is also used to treat a disease associated with excessive acid production in the stomach known as Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES).
Does Acera cause bone problems?
Yes, long term use of Acera can cause thinning of bones, which is called osteoporosis. Acera decreases the calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency, and increases the risk of bone fractures of hip, wrist or spine. Take an adequate amount of calcium in your diet or take the supplements as advised by your doctor to avoid any bone problems.
How long does it take for Acera Fast to work?

Can I stop taking Acera Fast if I feel better?

Is it safe to use Acera Fast for a long period of time?
Acera Fast should be used for as long as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Acera Fast is usually considered to be safe when taken in the recommended dose and duration. If Acera Fast is used for more than 3 months, certain long term side effects may be seen. The most important of these is low magnesium levels in your blood which may make you feel tired, confused, dizzy, shaky or dizzy. You may also have muscle twitches or irregular heartbeat. If the use is further prolonged for more than a year, you may have an increased risk of bone fractures, stomach infections, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, osteoporosis, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
