Used For:

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and erosive esophagitis. Omeprazole reduces acid production in the stomach, relieving symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid regurgitation, while promoting healing of the digestive tract lining.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, and flatulence. Long-term use may lead to more serious side effects, such as vitamin B12 deficiency, low magnesium levels, and an increased risk of bone fractures or gastrointestinal infections. Rare but severe side effects include allergic reactions, liver problems, or a severe skin rash.

Precautions:

Omeprazole should be used with caution in individuals with liver disease or low magnesium levels. Long-term or high-dose use should be avoided unless recommended by a healthcare provider, as it may increase risks of side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. It is important to inform your doctor about other medications being taken, as omeprazole can interact with drugs such as clopidogrel, warfarin, and certain antifungal or antiviral medications.
