A member asked:

I took omeprazole for 3 years , if it had effected bone density, will this return to normal upon stopping the medication?or is that bone loss longterm

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No issues: It is highly unlikely that a 38 year old would have experienced any bone loss after 3 years of omeprazole. Do not worry.
