Although uncommon, serious side effects of Geltec Syrup may include allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), elevated magnesium or aluminum levels, phosphate depletion, or bone softening (osteomalacia) after long-term use. Seek medical help immediately if you notice severe symptoms.

Long-term or high-dose use of Geltec Syrup may cause low phosphate levels, bone weakness, and kidney-related problems, especially in individuals with poor kidney function. Always consult your doctor if you require frequent or prolonged use.

Short-term use of Geltec Syrup usually does not affect bones. However, long-term use or high doses may lower phosphate levels in the blood, which can weaken bones and cause bone pain or fractures. This risk is higher if you are on a low-phosphate diet or already have weak bones.

Geltec Syrup should be used in children only with caution and under medical supervision. It may cause high magnesium levels in children, especially if they are dehydrated or have kidney problems.
