Is It Safe To Take Alcosta Injection For Pain In Abdomen?

I am a osteoporosis patient, recently met with an accident and fractured my T12 verterbrae (wedge compression fracture)and put on Gem cal (1000mg/day)and Gemfos(every week) for the last one year. I've taken alcosta injection also. I am being prescribed pantocid DSR (40mg) now to alleviate the pain in the abdominal region by a gatro entrologist. My question is, whether it has got any side effects?
