    Good question.

    I've been aking this now for nearly 9 years.

    Should we be having some form of blood test (e.g. liver function) whilst taking it?

    I have read a few websites and there are term side effects if you take the tablets continuously over a long period of time. Some doctors do know what these are, but not all doctors seem to know much about Hyatus Hernias or Lansoprazole.

    You can get thinning of the bones and depression amongst other things.
