The most common "side effects" are actually from induced hypochlorhydria from too high a dose over a long period. (More common in self-medicators buying the drugs Over The Counter - common in US.)
Hypochlorhydria can result in malabsorption of essential minerals and reduction of resistance to bacteria.
