A member asked:
Can long term use of omeprazole cause liver damage? or any other liver problems, in a healthy 22 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: Omeprazole is metabolized in the liver as are many drugs & toxins. In rare cases any use can cause injury to liver cells. The issue can be monitored by easily obtained blood tests.
