A member asked:
I have taken 3 omeprazole tablets, in 4 days. however i am being prescribed another ppi instead, how long will it take the omeprazole to leave my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider it gone by the end of the day. The half life, or time needed for 1/2 to leave the body is a few hours with 4 half lives to be defined as when it is not functionally present. I wouldn't worry about any overlap or drug incompatibility with a different PPI started the next day.
