These factors may affect how you should use Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole).

If you experience watery, foul-smelling bowel movements after starting to take Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole), contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Fractures: Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors has been associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fracture of the hip, wrist, or spine, particularly for people who take Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) for a year or longer.

Liver problems: People with liver problems should discuss with their doctor how Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Magnesium levels: In rare instances, Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) may cause low magnesium levels in people who take Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) for a prolonged period of time.
