Taking PPIs for heartburn (like omeprazole or pantoprazole)? You may want to hear this!
Long-term use of these medications can lead to B12 deficiency, which can cause peripheral neuropathy, think tingling, burning, and pain in your hands or feet.
The solution? If you’re experiencing these symptoms, ask your doctor to check your B12 levels. As a pharmacist, I recommend Methylcobalamin (1 mg) for nerve health, clinical studies show 1 mg daily for a year can reduce pain and support nerve regeneration.
Take control of your health, don’t ignore the signs.
