Yes, chronic, long-term therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with existing iron deficiencies can inhibit the absorption of non-haem iron from food. Therefore, therapy without consulting a doctor can last only 14 days. In patients who do not show iron deficiency, it will not affect the reduction of iron stores in the body and will not cause deficiencies of this component. If you have iron deficiency, the best solution would be to discontinue Polprazole. Of course, in consultation with the attending physician. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to get a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja A colleague also answered a similar question in the thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/77646/controloc-czy-controloc-wplywa-na-obnizony-poziom-zelaza-lub-zaburza-wchlanianie-zelaza An alternative to PPIs will be, for example: Esoxx One: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27635/esoxx-one-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki Gaviscon with mint flavor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/32050/gaviscon-o-smaku-miety-tabletki-do-ssania-gryzienia-zucia/apteki
