Omeprazole
Generic alternative to Prilosec
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor medication that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
How is this medication used?
Omeprazole should be taken before meals, swallowed whole with water, and not crushed, chewed, or opened. The dosage and treatment duration depend on the condition being treated and the patient's response to therapy.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include headache, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and gas. Although rare, serious side effects can occur, such as severe dizziness, irregular heartbeat, muscle spasms, seizures, and signs of lupus.
What are the potential interactions?
Omeprazole can interact with several drugs, reducing the effectiveness of medications such as clopidogrel and increasing the levels of drugs like diazepam, warfarin, and phenytoin in the blood. It may also interfere with drugs that require stomach acid for absorption.
