Product Description
Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. It’s a widely used treatment for indigestion and heartburn and acid reflux. It’s also taken to prevent and treat stomach ulcers. Sometimes omeprazole is taken for a rare illness caused by a tumour in the pancreas or gut called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Who can and can’t take omeprazole
Omeprazole can be taken by:
- Adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women.
- Children and babies if it’s been prescribed by a doctor.
To make sure omeprazole is safe for you, tell your doctor if you:
- Have had an allergic reaction to omeprazole or any other medicines in the past
- Have liver problems
- Are due to have an endoscopy
Ask your doctor if you should stop taking Omeprazole a few weeks before your endoscopy. This is because Omeprazole may hide some of the problems that would usually be spotted during an endoscopy.
