A member asked:
Does taking omeprozole increase chances of getting pneumonia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unlikely: If anything, omeprazole may decrease the incidence of pneumonias that are related to acid reflux. Cannot find evidence of other possible causes of pneumonia due to this class of drugs.
