Drug interaction : Omeprazole has actual adverse influences on the pharmacokinetics of medications such as diazepam, carbamazepine, clozapine, indinavir, nelfinavir, atazanavir, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, itraconazole, etc . Clinical outcomes depend on factors such as genotype status of cyp2c19 and cyp1a2, ethnicity . The best and accurate to assess is doing assurerx testing in office 24 hour results.
