Question 2

what is the treatment for omeprazole overdose?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: No need to worry, but make sure to only take medications as prescribed.

Question 3

can u overdose on topamax and omeprazole?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, unfortunately you can. If you take a lot of it, I would say that you can overdose on almost any medication, regardless of how safe the "safety profile" is. The amount of medication you need to take to overdose depends on the medication itself. Whether it is enough to be fatal also depends on the medication and the amount taken. Hope this helps.

Question 4

why is omeprazole considered a category c drug while nexium (esomeprazole) is category b, if they are equivalent drugs?

Accepted Answer

See below: Because more data and studies have performed in animals and humans if it is b category.

Question 5

i take 40mg of omeprazole and i haven't smoked any weed in months. i have a drug test coming up, i've been testing myself at home and i've tested positive for thc. i've read that omeprazole can cause false positive? is that possible?

Accepted Answer

: If you have not smoked weed for months, the positive urine test for THC is likely false positive and it can be due to taking omeprazole. You should switch Omeprazole to Famotidine for at least a week before the test day.

Question 6

can omeprazole show up or leave traces of meth in a drug test?.

Accepted Answer

No: Omeprazole has no relationship to methamphetamine.

Question 7

can you develop resistance to ppi drugs after long years usage? omeprazole then lansoprazole and others no longer working?

Accepted Answer

: PPI resistance has been described and is always possible, at this point revisiting with treating gastroenterologist is strongly recommended as an upper endoscopy may be needed.

Question 8

is it possible for some drugs to just not work on some people? such as oral dicofenac sodium. perhaps a condition that causes it to be poorly absorbed. would being on omeprazole for gerd be a factor in that?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, one medication may work well for one but not for other.
I have not heard any interaction between Diclofenac and Omeprazole. In fact, some people take Omeprazole because they have gastritis or peptic ulcer due to Diclofenac but they could not get off this med with their joint problem.

Question 9

i'm taking omeprazole, amoxicilin, bismuth,azithromycine and i did a brain mri. were those drugs bad for doing mri?

Accepted Answer

No relation: No relation between your meds and the brain MRI. Metal based devices, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants and alike would be of concern. Hope it helps.

Question 10

is there a drug interaction for ceftin (cefuroxime) and omeprazole? i am on ceftin (cefuroxime) 2x daily and omeprazole 40mg daily.  can they be taken together?

Accepted Answer

Med interactions: According to a drug interaction check, the absorption level of the Ceftin (cefuroxime) may be affected by lowered stomach acid which is what  omeprazole does.  It appears that any medication that lowers the acid would have this affect (for example, Zantac or Pepcid). This would reduce the effectiveness of the Ceftin (cefuroxime).  You may want to discuss this with the doctor who prescribed the Ceftin (cefuroxime) or your pharmacist.
