Myth 3: Long-term use of stomach medicine is uninterrupted.
Some people with stomach problems still take stomach medicine for a long time after their symptoms have been relieved, hoping to prevent the condition**. However, it is also unscientific to take stomach medicine for a long time without interruption.
Long-term use of gastric medicine may lead to a decrease in gastric acid secretion, affect the protective function of the gastric mucosa, and increase the risk of infections and other stomach problems. In addition, long-term use of certain stomach medicines may also lead to malabsorption of nutrients and affect physical health.
