    Research suggests that long-term use of H2 blockers and antacids might raise the risk of folic acid deficiency. These medications work by reducing stomach acid, which can also play a role in folic acid absorption. Folic acid is crucial for healthy cell growth and development, and a deficiency can lead to various health problems, especially during pregnancy. Some studies show a potential link between H2 blocker/antacid use and lower folic acid levels. Individuals who take H2 blockers or antacids for extended periods should consider supplementation with folic acid to protect against a deficiency.
