However, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration to avoid potential side effects such as watery diarrhea or persistent stomach pain. Long-term use may lead to weakened or broken bones, so adequate intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D is recommended. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.
