Study Summary

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for the control of gastric ulcer-gastritis, erosive esophagitis (gastroesophageal reflux disease), peptic ulcer disease (duodenal ulcer), and heartburn. Despite their efficacy, their use has been implicated in possibly causing fragility fractures (osteoporosis), hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency) and increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The current trial represents the investigators' ongoing effort to discern whether these complications could be averted by effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit).

Primary Outcome

Change from baseline in bone mineral density (BMD) T-Score at 2 years as measured by dual photon absorptiometry. The range, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), for T-Score is: -1 and above = Normal, Between -1 and -2.5 = Osteopenia, -2.5 and below = osteoporosis.
