Question 1

can i use pecid and omemprazole together?

Accepted Answer

Yes but why?: These have overlapping coverage and taking the two together is unlikely to add to what one alone can do.  You might try one for the effect desired, and if that does not work well, then try the other.

Question 2

can you take omemprazole with angus castus?

Accepted Answer

No contraindication: this is an herbal medication used to promote hormonal balance- there is no contraindication to using it.

Question 3

how often can i take omeprazol?

Accepted Answer

Dose of omeprazole: Omeprazole can be taken once or twice a day.  In some cases three times a day.  Some patients are fairly resistant to the drug and/or need higher doses.  Good luck.

Question 4

does omeprzole contain aluminum?

Accepted Answer

No: It contains magnesium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. It's formula is (C17H18N3O3S)2 Mg. aluminum  hydroxide, contained in other antacids, may decrease the effect of omen razors.

Question 5

what effects can long term omeorazole use have?

Accepted Answer

Reduced acid: Usually long term use is not a problem- although suppressing acid for too long may lead to lack of complete digestion is some circumstances.  Duodenal ulcers can be healed in 6-8 weeks of Omeprazole (or any other proton pump inhibitor or an h2 blocker). So unless there is chronic reflux, stopping therapy may be a good idea periodically.

Question 6

can i take st john's wort with omeperazole tablets?

Accepted Answer

Might reduce benefit: St. John's wort interacts with over 600 different drugs! it can increase the rate your liver metabolizes Omeprazole & thus might lower its levels, reducing  effectiveness, but may not reduce it very much. I don't know why you are taking Omeprazole but i'm not a big fan of using it for very long- it can cause serious problems! see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/036336_ppis_acid_reflux_side_effects.Html.

Question 7

i have been taking ptescription omeprozole 20mg for over 2 yrs. is yhat bad?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Omeprazole and other PPIs may cause malabsorption of nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B12 if taking chronically. Studies also showed that PPIs may increase risk of osteoporosis, pneumonia, and C diff diarrhea. PPIs are effective for treating reflux and heartburn but avoid taking it regularly if you don't need to.

Question 8

omeperazole 20 mg daily or rentidine 300 mg twice a day , which dose is stronger?

Accepted Answer

Can't compare: These medications have different mechanisms of action and can't be compared as to strength. Ranitidine does have a faster onset of action, however.

Question 9

i took a 40mg omeperazole around noon, it is now 1145pm and i accidentally took another 40mg. am i ok?

Accepted Answer

No issues: Sometimes Omeprazole is prescribed twice a day. The main issue is trying to prevent this type of event from happening again, possibly with other pills, too. If in doubt, unsure if you took or not, do not take.

Question 10

i am 52 yrs old taking regularly omerpazole type medicine for 5-6 years but don't want to continue in regularly due to its side effects.please advise?

Accepted Answer

It is time!: It is time, don't you think to lose weight (if your are overweight),  quit smoking, (if you smoke) and to find the cause of your troubles rather than continuing to cover up the problem by just treating the symptoms of heartburn? Keep a food diary. Stop using alcohol. Find the cause of the heartburn.
