prilosec
I had been having acid reflux for a few weeks, and last week I woke up after rolling over on my stomach during the night with acid burning my esophagus. A doctor perscribed me Nexium, but since my insurance wouldn't cover it, I started taking over the counter Omeprazole instead. The very next day I woke up with stomach pain and cramps at around the same time I had the acid reflux the previous night.
Do you mean Omeprazole? It's used by those who have varices (cirrhosis)..Primarily for nausea.
Dosage seems high.
This medicine can cause unusual results with certain medical tests, and you may need to stop using the medicine for a short time before a test.

She has been prescribed with Mox 250mg( Amoxycillin capsules), Maclar 250mg( Clarithromycin), omeprazole tabs. Will it be sufficient for the cure with regular dosage or please suggest any additional measure.
Is it possible to have a reverse reaction to Nexium / omeprazole? It never really made the symptoms of my recently diagnosed hiatal hernia caused reflux (lump in throat, mostly) go away. It seemed to help for 2 weeks, but after 1 month it seemed to aggravate GERD symptoms. I am reading a lot on the subject, experimenting with diet and relaxation and the occasional spoonful of Maalox. I relate to the person who said they felt fine until after the endoscopy.

It can also be gastric reflux due to weak esophageal sphincter or due to hiatal hernia. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. It can also be an allergic reaction to something you eat. Hence you may need food challenge test.
Calling all in London area! UK. I live in Ilford and need a good thyroid specialist. I used to see Prof. Maisie at Guy's iin London but that was about 25 years ago. My nearest private hospital is Spire Roding, Redbridge or Holly house, Buckhurst Hill. I'll go to NHS hosp. in Central London with pleasure but round here, no thanks unless someone has had a really good experience with a local specialist (get in touch with the Guiness Book Of Records!). I'm
not being picky or a snob.
A month ago I had my annual blood test and my TSH was 6.49 and I was told to increase my dosage to 125 mcg. I have had a very unusual amount of stress in the past 6 months and am having to commute 2 hours each way to work which I think has not helped at all. After two weeks on the higher dosage I couldn't function properly, 3 days of fogginess and then a very funny spell where I felt very drunk and light headed.
So, based on your TPO ab result and other tests and symptoms you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as the cause for your hypothyroidism. Most of your symptoms are clearly related to your hypothyroidism.
Currently your Free T3 and Free T4 are too low in the range and are the source of your hypo symptoms. So you need to have your thyroid med increased as necessary to relieve symptoms, rather than just raising meds enough to get your test results within the so-called "normal' ranges.
Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
At first my wife had urinary infection, few weeks later she started to have fever and stomach problems, the docter told her it was a gastroenteritis. I bought her omeprazole and gave her amoxicilline, that worked. She felt fine, but few weeks later she had urinary infection symptoms again. The doctor gave her antibiotics again, that helped her.
I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and have been taking omeprazole twice a day every day for a few months (I had been on Prevacid for several years before the omeprazole but insurance won't cover it any more). If your main symptom is burping, I would try going off of the omeprazole and switching to gas-x or some other type of gas relief medicine. As long as you aren't having a lot of problems with heartburn or acid reflux, you would probably be fine to discontinue using the omeprazole.
is omeprazole a nercotic pain killer? i know some medications that may b addicting so i thought i would double check..also i had seen that u can take in an i.v is this true and if so how?
I keep forgetting to take my omeprazole dr 20 mg 30 minutes before meals, can I take it after the meal.
Hi, Do you think a different manufacturer, could possibly make a slightly diffrent product,or maybe a different coating ? that could change the makeup of Omeprazole, or any other product for that matter.
Now due to the pregnancy, it seemed to worsen as I experience painful heartburns. My doctor recommends I take omeprazole along with antacids. I've been taking antacids because I know they don't bare side effects on pregnancy. I am not sure though with omeprazole. I'm scared. I am afraid it might harm the baby. Anyone here experienced the same?
Hi. I am taking omeprazole for laryngopharyngeal reflux for the past 2 days. I am supposed to take two pills daily, one before breakfast and one before dinner. Today, i started having this feeling that food is stuck in my chest and back of my throat but I don't have any problems swallowing. It is an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I did not have this symptom prior to starting the drug. Is this a side effect of the drug?
I told the nurse at my primary doctors about breathing menthol and all she did was laugh at me. I am betting you need the Omeprazole dosage upped. I was taking 40 mg. a day and they upped it to 40 mg. 2x a day.
I was taking a prescription (omeprazole) to control my severe reflux(GERD) before I found out I was pregnant. My primary doctor suggested I stop taking it until my first appt with OB( 1/27) to see what she suggests. My reflux is severe and I don't want to keep taking Pepcid and tums like crazy. Has anyone else had this before pregnancy and what were you given to take that was safe?
Had total thyroid removal in September 2011. Voice still gets hoarse when I talk alot. Also, right side of my neck and under chin feels numb and tender to the touch.
Been prescribed Omeprazole and now Protonix for "acid on vocal cord (box). Never had any acid reflux or heartburn. Have appointment for a "Swallowing Test" next month.
As for the neck/chin issue...docs don't seem to be concerned about it. Was told it won't go away.
Remember there is usually a temporary increase in anxiety when a dosage is increased. The increased anxiety can cause more stomach acid and therefore your symptoms. I confess I take omeprazole for the heartburn. The burping went away with the anxiety. My stomach burned so bad I thought I had an ulcer. You can get prevacid or prilosec over the counter. Either one should help. Good luck and excuse yourself!
