Question 4

omeprazole 20mg cannot take wif iron tablet(sangobion) ? i already take for 2mths together with iron tablet but wif 2hrs apart. scare iron not absorb

Accepted Answer

You're OK: Iron is absorbed in a more acid environment, that's why you need to separate the pills.  But ppis like Omeprazole can lower your acid so far  that they impact iron absorption all day.  They also can make osteoporosis worse, lead to infections like pneumonia and colitis, and shouldn't be taken forever.  If you have reflux, you should consider an antireflux procedure or surgery.

Question 5

if i take iron tablet (sangobion) , can i take gastric medicine (omezole 20 omeprazole capsule 20mg) . thanks?

Accepted Answer

Interaction: Taking Omeprazole decreases the amount of acid in your stomach and will reduce the amount of iron you absorb from the sangobion. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19262546.

Question 6

i was just prescribed omeprazole 20mg capsules for heartburn.  im on day 7. i forgot to take it - can i take an otc 20mg tablet instead?

Accepted Answer

Same: Omeprazole 20 mg is OTC. The answer is yes.

Question 7

is too much omeprazole and vitamin d tablets taken in one go dangerous?

Accepted Answer

How much is 2 much?: Omeprazole is seldom prescribed at doses that exceed 40mg twice daily.  Regarding vitamin d, what kind are you taking ; with what additives?  Hard to know what you consider "too much" of either of these since you haven't told us how much you're taking. Please reformulate your question--.

Question 8

i have a dull pain in my tummy and i am currently  taking omeprazoles twice a day alongside some iron tablets as i am anaemic. why?

Accepted Answer

You have signs of: Stomach irritation/ ulcer and bleeding in your GI tract. Ask your dr if he considers doing endoscopy. Did they do h pylori antibody test? Take care!   http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/diseases-conditions/gastritis/basics/definition/con-20021032.

Question 9

i've just taken my antiacid tablet-omeprazole with my antibiotics-doxycycline by accident forgetting that it stated not to at same time as antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Nothing will: happen when you made a single mistake....continue your antibiotics and your Omeprazole taking antibitics during the day and your Omeprazole at bedtime.

Hope this helps!

Question 10

i have only just started on naproxen and omeprazole for forearm pain. i now have stomach pain for the last two days but stopped all tablets two days ago because of this. can either tablet cause this ? and when should it stop ?

Accepted Answer

Naproxen: Naproxen can irritate the stomach and cause stomach pain. They probably gave you the omeprazole to protect your stomach from the naproxen, but it just did not work.  I would keep taking the omeprazole for a few days to decrease stomach acid and try some tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain.
