A member asked:

I've been prescribed omeprazole for acid reflux, i'm also on tetralysal, for the last few days i've had sore throats and runny noise, is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the omeprazole: Getting a sore throat after starting omeprazole, which is not a side effect of omeprazole, means the Omeprazole has nothing to do with the symptom.
