Question 1

my son has silent reflux he has had a bad cough since i changed his formula should i use a formula with ha for allergies and he's on losec (omeprazole) 2 daily?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolyzed formula: Try a hydrolyzed milk protein or soy formula for a couple of weeks to see if this helps.  The history suggests that he is allergic to the new formula.  Is there a history of allergic disease in either parent?

Question 2

can chronic gastritis be caused  by food allergies and or food sensitivities? ve been taking omeprazole for long, stil get acidity if stop, thanks

Accepted Answer

No: Food allergies/sensitivities would cause rather more of bowel symptoms not gastric, you may want to see a Gastroenterologist, as probably further studies needed to diagnose the cause of your symptoms, goodluck

Question 3

one pill of prozac (fluoxetine) it was 20mg  then i took two pills of omeprazole it was also 20mg then i took one pill of non drowsy allergy 10mg what to do now?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: There should not be a significant issue with this combination.

Question 4

f/u to last question. waking up with sore throat that goes away. whats best way to figure out if its allergies or acid reflux, besides taking meds for both? have omeprazole & loratadine.

Accepted Answer

AM sore throat: If your throat is truly sore rather than itchy, I doubt an allergic cause. If it has been occurring for only a few days, a viral infection is more likely,  but if more long-lasting, it could be extreme dryness from sleeping with your mouth open for hours. As for reflux,I would expect some associated heartburn and or acid taste. You could have an Otolaryngologist examine and advise you. ?smoker

Question 5

is losec (omeprazole) ok to use if you are on a gluten free diet of does the actual product contain gluten?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't have gluten: The consumer medicine information from http://www.Medsafe.Govt.Nz/consumers/cmi/l/losecandlosecextra.Pdf  says that each losec tablet contains 10 mg omeprazole, and that losec tablets do not contain gluten or lactose.

Question 6

my mum has a acid reflux is it alright tomaintain her losec (omeprazole) 10mg and levothyroxin100mg. she'stakinglevothyroxin in the evening while losec (omeprazole) in morning?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction between the two medicines. In some people especially asians, there is an interaction between Prilosec and plavix (clopidogrel).

Question 7

what can i do to wean myself of losec (omeprazole)?

Accepted Answer

Losec (omeprazole): It depend first of you should stop it. What is the reason to take the medication? When did you start it ? What happen when you stop it ?

Question 8

is pantoprazole as good as nexium (esomeprazole) or losec?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: A review in Journal of the American Pharmacists Association(Eval of Omeprazole,Lansoprazole,Pantoprazole,&amp;Rabeprazole in Treatment of Acid-Related Diseases,J Am Pharm Assoc. 2000;40(1)),there is no difference amongst the proton pump inhibitors(pantoprazole, omeprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole). Clinically, we find some people respond better to one than another; if one doesn't work, try another.

Question 9

what can i do to wean myself of losec (omeprazole) 20 mgr?

Accepted Answer

Not addicting...: Losec (prilosec, omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor.  It blocks stomach acid.  It's not addicting, but of course your acid-related symptoms can return once acid production resumes when the drug is stopped.  No taper or wean is needed--just stop.

Question 10

i have ran out of losec (omeprazole) can i take lansoprazole?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They are chemical cousins and do the same thing. Buy the cheapest.
