    Frequently asked Questions about Lupident

    Question over 5 years ago

    Does Lupident cause low potassium?

    Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

    Yes, long-term use of Lupident may cause low potassium level in your body by increasing the excretion of potassium in the urine. This can result in symptoms such as muscle cramps, weakness, tiredness, and an irregular heartbeat.

    Question about 5 years ago

    Is Lupident good for gastritis?

    Dr. Anand Singh MBBS , General Physician

    Yes, Lupident is used in the treatment of gastritis. It is presumed that Lupident works in gastritis by suppressing the immune response which causes inflammation and additionally relieving the symptoms of gastritis such as stomach pain, stomach inflammation, and acid reflux.

    Question over 5 years ago

    Why Lupident is given along with vitamin B 12?

    Dr. Rahul Poddar MBBS, DNB, MBBS, DNB , General Surgery

    This is because a long-term use of Lupident can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Stomach acids help in the absorption of Vitamin B 12, and this drug suppresses stomach acid which is required for the absorption of vitamin B12. Hence patients taking Lupident for a long time have Vitamin B12 deficiency. To replenish Vitamin B12 in your body your doctor prescribes this vitamin along with this medicine.
