120937 - Omeprazole is a medication used to decrease the amount of acid
120938 - in your stomach. It is used to manage gastroesophageal reflux
120939 - disease (condition where your stomach acid moves up your
120940 - esophagus), gastric ulcers and other conditions affected by
120941 - stomach acid production. According to Drugs.com, omeprazole is
120942 - available as a capsule and its initial dose is 20 milligrams
120943 - daily. Your doctor may decide to increase this dosage
120944 - depending upon your condition.
120946 - ..
120947 - Common Side Effects
120948 -
120949 - According to Drugs.com, omeprazole can cause stomach pain,
120950 - flatulence (gas) and diarrhea. This stomach pain may be
120951 - stabbing or dull in nature. Gas is harmless but may be
120952 - embarrassing in social situations. You may also experience
120953 - nausea or vomiting. Loose stools can make you dehydrated and
120954 - as a result, you can develop a headache. Drink plenty of
120955 - fluids to prevent dehydration and call your doctor if any of
120956 - these symptoms worsen or continue.
120958 - ..
120959 - Dangerous Side Effects
120960 -
120961 - Omeprazole can also cause difficulty swallowing. Eating foods
120962 - or drinking liquids can cause you to choke. Inform your
120963 - doctor when you have these symptoms as they can all be life
120964 - threatening.

120974 - Other Side Effects
120975 -
120976 - Chest pain, constipation, a lost voice, sneezing and
120977 - drowsiness are other side effects of omeprazole, says the Mayo
120978 - Clinic. Chest pain is the result of decreased blood flow to
120979 - your heart. Constipation is a benign side effect that requires
120980 - attention if you haven't had a bowel movement in at least
120981 - three to five days. Avoid driving or participating in projects
120982 - that require your full attention if you are drowsy.

140419 - 1. Popular PPI antacids -- Aciphex, Dexilant, Nexium,
140420 - Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Vimovo, and Zegerid -- raise
140421 - the risk of bone fracture, especially when used for a year
140422 - or more or at high doses, the FDA warns.
140424 - ..
140425 - 2. The warning comes after U.S. and Canadian researchers
140426 - linked the use of PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) to
140427 - fracture risk in middle-aged adults. Another U.S. study
140428 - suggests that the drugs may also increase risk of
140429 - infection with C. difficile, a bacterium that can cause
140430 - severe diarrhea.
140431 -
140432 - 3. "There is a possible increased risk of fractures of the
140433 - hip, wrist, and spine if you take certain drugs for
140434 - heartburn, acid reflux, or ulcers," the FDA today warned
140435 - consumers.
140437 - ..
140438 - 4. The action follows FDA review of six studies that link
140439 - PPIs to fractures, although the studies do not
140440 - definitively prove that PPIs are the cause of the
140441 - fractures seen in the studies.
140443 - ..
140444 - 5. Most of the increased fracture risk is seen in people over
140445 - age 50.
140447 - ..
140448 - 6. The federal agency will now require the warning to be
140449 - added to the package labels of both the prescription and
140450 - nonprescription versions of the drugs.
140452 - ..
140453 - 7. The drugs all are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the most
140454 - powerful class of antacid drugs. It's the third
140455 - highest-selling class of drugs in the U.S. Each year,
140456 - doctors write 113.4 million prescriptions for the drugs.
140457 - Three -- Prevacid, Prilosec, and Zegerid -- are available
140458 - without prescription.
140460 - ..
140461 - 8. The drugs do a great job of reducing stomach acid. They're
140462 - not only far more powerful than simple antacids (such as
140463 - Maalox, Rolaids, and Tums) but also reduce stomach acid
140464 - more than the H2RA drugs Axid, Pepcid, Tagamet, and
140465 - Zantac.
140467 - ..
140468 - 9. These powerful drugs are supposed to be used only for
140469 - serious conditions, but often are taken for simple
140470 - heartburn. There's no doubt they're effective, but the
140471 - benefit for minor conditions may not be worth the risk.
140473 - ..
140474 - 10. The FDA offers the following advice to patients:
140475 -
140476 - 1. If your doctor recommended that you take a PPI, don't
140477 - stop taking the medication until you discuss it with
140478 - him or her.
140479 -
140480 - 2. The greatest risk from PPIs is among people who take
140481 - high doses or remain on the drugs for a year or more.
140483 - ..
140484 - 3. Over-the-counter PPIs should be taken for only 14 days
140485 - for treatment of frequent heartburn. No more than
140486 - three 14-day courses should be taken in a single year.
140488 - ..
140489 - 4. Discuss any concerns you may have about taking PPIs
140490 - with your doctor.
140492 - ..
140493 - 5. Report any possible PPI side effects to the FDA either
140494 - online or by phone at (800) 332-1088.
