A member asked:

Can you tell me how long do prilosec side-effects last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Few linger...: ...past the time you stop the medication--e.g. headache, diarrhea. However, be aware that chronic use can increase risk of osteopenia which does not reverse when Prilosec is discontinued.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
