Can I take Rabsar with vitamin D?

Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Rabsar. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Rabsar as the long term use of Rabsar 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.

Is it safe to use Rabsar for a long period of time?

Rabsar should be used for as long as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Rabsar is usually considered to be safe when taken in the recommended dose and duration. If Rabsar 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.
