A member asked:
Is it safe to stop talking omeprazole for a day or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Symptomatic treatments like Omeprazole can be stopped as you wish. The benefit of this medication is on reducing stomach acidity & if you cut down on acidic drinks, nicotine & caffeine you might get by without it. If your heartburn or relates symptoms return you can reatart it.
