| 5 | Gerd | None | M | 67 | 2 years 20mg 1X day | 6/12/2021 | 5 | Acid reflux | No issues that I can tell. Really helps with my acid reflux. Will continue to take it. | M | 61 | 20 years 30 mg 1X day | 11/25/2020 | 5 | GERD...Acid Reflux | Have had no side effects from this drug. It has worked great for me. Controls acid and keeps it away. | M | 51 | 20 years 20mg | 4/1/2019 | 5 | Lpr | No side effects | F | 54 | 4 months 20mg 2 a d | 1/17/2019 | 5 | GERD (serious) | NONE | This works like a charm. Tums and H2 blockers just don't work for me even with a healthy lifestyle and weight. | F | 35 | 50 days 20 mg | 5/21/2017 | 5 | GERD | still need to watch what you imbibe | Need to take at least 1 hour before dinner. avoid greasy foods, and large meals and those items that may trigger your heartburn such as coffee,chocolate, raw onions, green peppers, pepperoni etc | M | 79 | 5 years 40mg 1X day | 11/14/2016 | 5 | gerd | none | M | 83 | 10 years 30mg 1X day | 7/4/2016 | 5 | GERD | Pretty much no side effects that I can attribute to Prilosec | Have developed muscle weakness over the past 3-4 years. Also severe flatulence. i always had abnormal amount of flatulence it but has become much worse in the past 5 years. | M | 53 | 20 years 20 1X day | 4/21/2016 | 5 | severe acid reflux from GERD | None that I am aware of, I have a lot of health issues related to mixed connective tissue disorder, but my bones are strong and most of my other symptoms began before I started omemprozole. | When I don't take it, the acid comes back, but the acid was constant and was damaging my esophagus and lungs way before I ever took Prilosec, so it wouldn't make sense to assume that my dependence on it is caused by the drug. My dependence on it is caused by my over active acid production caused by an illness that I will continue to have, with or with out this God sent drug. | F | 50 | 25 years 2X day | 1/5/2016 | 5 | GERD | Dry mouth, headache. | M | 56 | 2 years 10 | 5/16/2015 | 5 | GERD | None except breakthrough heartburn | Controls my GERD as well as Nexium at a lower price | M | 50 | 8 years 20 | 4/28/2015 | 5 | Gerd | I love it. Helps a great deal. | F | 45 | 1 years 20mg | 4/20/2015 | 5 | GERD | Heart palpitations, panic attack, ulcers, dizziness, nausea, uncontrollable shaking, diarrhea, tingling sensation on left side of face and all over my body. Headache, eye ache, muscle aches, breathing problems. Stomach cramps, and swollen throat. Ringing and throbbing in both ears. Blurry vision, foggy head and lack of concentration. Back aches, lack of sleep, fatigue, drowsiness, and last but not least joint pain. | I took this drug to get rid of GERD but as soon as I started taking the drug I noticed abdominal pain, and the list of symptoms grew to the point where I had to check myself into the hospital 3 times with full blood work, EKG, CAT, and a stress test for my heart only to have the results come back as normal. I am still dealing with the symptoms left with the side effects caused by this drug. Although most of my symptoms have died down I am still going through hell. | M | 34 | 2 weeks | 11/30/2014 | 5 | GERD | Heart palpitations,chest pain, severe anxiety, severe panic, shortness of breath, detached. I started taking this drug 2 years ago due to heartburn and I have gone through hell since. Never in a million years would I have connected my symptoms to prilosec. I was convinced I was going crazy. I went to the ER twice in one week thinking I was dying., and have been a total of 6 times. Not saying that this is definitely the cause of my symptoms but everyone here seems to share the same symptoms. Looks like a duck. Stay away from this drug! | M | 35 | 2 years | 10/27/2014 | 5 | dysphagia | Initial bloating and acid reflux due to taking the first 2 doses too close together in time. It has been good since then but I feel full even 4 to 5 hours after eating and I cannot eat as much as I previously did. | I was prescribed Prilosec for dysphagia, but didn't have the prescription filled for over a year just avoiding the foods that gave me a problem. I did have heartburn but not GERD and a couple of tums would take care of it. My primary and most annoying problem was that I could not eat things like a raw apple or white rice or white chicken meat without feeling like it was stuck behind my breastbone. I could take a couple of swallows of water and force the food down but it was uncomfortable. Prilosec has worked very well for me--ending my dysphagia as well as allowing me to eat anything without getting heartburn. But I feel full after eating a large meal for much longer than before I took Prilosec. Right now I have not eaten in 5 hours and it was not a particularly large meal but my stomach still feels full and I cannot eat anything else. I wonder if this is due to the acid reduction in my stomach so the food stays in it longer before it gets digested and so I continue to feel full. This may seem like a good thing but I am concerned about its long term negative consequences on my health. Also after having a problem with my initial doses and not taking a pill on the third day I found that Prilosec still worked perfectly well for me so I've been taking a pill every other day except today when I did not take a pill when I ordinarily would have yet it seems to still be working on the third day after taking a pill. I want to see how many days I can go between taking pil | M | 62 | 30 days 20 mg 1X day | 10/15/2014 | 5 | GERD | Slightly lightheaded for the first day, after that, none. | F | 42 | 4 days 40 MG | 1/1/2014 | 5 | GERD | Omeprazole worked great for me without any side effects. Highly recommended for those with frequent heartburn. | F | 25 | 2 years 40mg | 7/4/2013 | 5 | Barrett's esophagus | M | 71 | 4 years 20 2X day | 8/14/2012 | 5 | sour acid stomach | No bad side effects. I sleep better, have more energy, better mood. | I've had a bad stomach for years and used to take Zantac. It stopped working and never worked all that well to begin with. I finally tried Prilosec and am amazed -- within hours it resolved my stomach issues. Side effects are all positive so far. | F | 53 | 6 days 1X day | 6/11/2012 | 5 | heartburn / still taking it | coughing up phlem more trips to the bathroom (number 2) besides that never had any other problems | M | 41 | 7 years 20.6 1X day | 6/3/2012 |
PRILOSEC (OMEPRAZOLE): Omeprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Omeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 1998-01-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
