Hi, Cat!

That would be twice the maximum recommended daily dosage, so yes there could be some dangers associated with taking two of them in a day.

One concern would be the possibility of your lowering your production of stomach acid too much, which could result in your food not being properly digested. That has the potential of causing dangerous stomach issues, as well as blockages and a deficiency in vital nutrients.

The other issue that it may cause is an increased risk of hip fractures, just like those which may occur with very prolonged ingestion of these medications.

If one isn't handling your acidic issue, then you should speak to your doctor as they are other medications you can use, or you can split it up into 2 20mg doses.

You should also make sure that you are watching your diet carefully, to avoid anything that may trigger the production of excess stomach acid, making it harder for the medication to do its job.

Is there anything else I can help with?
