Can Mycer Qrs Tablet cause diarrhea?

For how long can I take Mycer Qrs Tablet?
The duration of treatment with Mycer Qrs Tablet should be as prescribed by your doctor. This depends on the individual's condition, and it is crucial to stop taking the medication only after consulting your doctor.
Can Mycer Qrs Tablet cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Yes, this medication can increase the risk of bone fractures due to calcium deficiency. This occurs as its action leads to reduced calcium absorption by the body. You should consult your doctor if you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids (which can exacerbate the risk) before starting therapy. They can advise on preventive measures like calcium or vitamin D supplementation.
What are the long-term side effects of Mycer Qrs Tablet?
Long-term use for more than three months might lead to potential side effects, including low magnesium levels (which can cause fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness). Muscle twitches or irregular heartbeat may also occur. If used for over a year, the risk of bone fractures increases significantly due to decreased calcium in the blood (especially hip, wrist, and spine fractures), along with an increased risk of stomach infections, and vitamin B12 deficiency leading to anemia and fatigue.
Does Mycer Qrs Tablet cause vitamin deficiencies?
It may cause vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. Oral administration requires a healthy acidic environment for optimal absorption from the stomach; however, this medication leads to decreased gastric acid secretion. Vitamin B12 supplementation may be needed while considering the potential impact of vitamin C.
Can Mycer Qrs Tablet be used in cardiac patients?
Patients with heart conditions can use Mycer Qrs Tablet as prescribed by their doctor. However, it's essential to consider that interactions with certain medications (e.g., clopidogrel and digoxin) commonly used by individuals with pre-existing cardiac issues might need careful monitoring by a healthcare professional.
