Hello Dr Austin and Dr Jordan
I’m 36 years old and have been taking Nexium 20mg for years. Do I need to increase my calcium intake beyond the recommended 1000mg per day or PPI doesn’t really effect calcium absorption ?
They can have mild impacts on calcium absorption, but this is generally not necessary for most people. I can’t speak to your individual situation without more medical context, however.
