OMEPRAZOLE  (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). If you are self-treating with this medication, over-the-counter omeprazole products are used to treat frequent heartburn (occurring 2 or more days a week). Since it may take 1 to 4 days to have full effect, these products do not relieve heartburn right away. For over-the-counter products, carefully read the package instructions to make sure the product is right for you. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar brand names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.   FDA Approval Date: 2009-01-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  GERD Anxiety , muscle spasms , body aches , lower back pain , left arm pain and shoulder pain I had been taking this for quite a long time but discontinued cause it was not working anymore but I didn't have any side effects at the time . I started taking Pepcid for a month and boy did it do my mind and my body alot of harm . Look that up too. So I went back to omeprozole a week ago not knowing I'd go back to feeling the same way I did with the Pepcid . I thought the Pepcid was still in my system but from the research I've found here I couldn't believe that what I was feeling was from the OMEPROZOLE . It took a turn on me and gave me the worst side effects just like it did everyone else . I went to the ER 4 time this month and I was getting really upset because I felt in my heart that I had the COVID and doctors weren't being honest with me . They didn't know what else to tell me . My vitals where fine . My labs came back normal . So my daughter came here and found all this information . If anybody has taking both these medications and dealt with the same issue .

 1  Acid Reflux and Barrett's Esophagus SIBO: less acid allowed bacteria to proliferate in small intestine. LEAKY GUT: totally messed up my immune system, allowing me to get very severe cellulitis, requiring iv antibiotics, and also horrendous shingles in ear; also gave me Deep Vein Thrombosis, which you can find online is another reported side effect of long term use of omeprazole...life threatening!!!! Omeprazole seems to me like russian roulette.... works for a lot of people, and that is why it is prescribed. There are other ways to manage acid reflux.... omeprazole is the lazy way for both doctors and patients. It made my acid reflux worse due to SIBO. From a guy who was in great health it turned me into a basket case for about a year, until I got off of it and found ways to manage my symptoms, new and old. M 78 360 days

 2  Acid reflux Initially worked wonders to ease pain from acid reflux. But over the last week/10 days started with bad breathlessness, loss of appetite, low mood, lethargy and horrendous pain under left rib. Couldn't sleep and was getting more and more anxious as worried something bad. Googled this and this page came up, stopped this yesterday's and today can breathe a little easier and rib pain isn't as bad. Good for helping the pain and inflammation but the side effects are horrendous. Used to be on ranitidine and never had any of these issues. F 45 30 days

 1  H Pylori Pain radiating at the back, increase in heartburn which should be subsidising, chest/rib cage pains, stomach discomfort, pain on the shoulders, nausea, and headaches. I thought it was supposed to help reduce the symptoms of H Pylori, but it seems to add on them. Such a small capsule but can make one's life so painful and boring. M 34 1 months
