What could happen if you overdose on omeprazole 20mg cap sandoz? ## Hi Megan, The reaction of an overdose of this would essentially depend upon several factors; including but not limited to how much of the drug was taken and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, or street drugs, medical history, how the normal dose effects the patient, etc. But one could expect to notice any of the normal side effects to a greater extent such as: headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, trouble awakening and sleep deprivation, possible iron and vitamin B12 deficiency (which could lead to other problems), blurred vision, sweating and flushing, dry mouth, rapid heart rate, and confusion. This probably isn't a full list of possibilities as that would be dependent of a ho...

i am suffering from heart burn/ Gastro Esophagal Reflux. its so difficult to sleep at night, its as if i have a solid substance down my throat. my doctor suggested i use altosec. What mostly causes the heart burn/gastro esophagal reflux. ## If your doc was smart he would have you go see a gastrointestinal doc, cause my mom's boyfriend had that prob. and he had esophegus cancer. ## Heartburn and GERD are usually caused by excess stomach acid. It could be due to your stomach just naturally over producing acid, or the excessive product could be caused by certain foods, beverages or other medications, such as NSAIDs. Altosec contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that can reduce the amount of acid produced by your stomach. The best way to use it is to t...

Can I take Prilosec OTC 20.6mg while taking Dexilant Caps. 60mg in the morning. ## Dexilant contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, it is most commonly used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat GERD. Prilosec contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, which is a medication in the same class, thus using both is not advisable, because it is doubling up on the same type of medication. Have you consulted your doctor? If you are still experiencing heart burn and acid problems, while taking the Dexilant, it may not be the right medication for you.

I currently take Dexilant DR 60mg for acid reflux and I have 4 ulcers in my small Intestine. I dont seem to be getting any relief from the Ulcers. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im deperate. I was on Nexium 80mg's before I started the Dexilant. It too worked for a while than stopped. ## How long did you take them? It can take 12 to 16 weeks for these medications to help such conditions heal. When you are taking them, you should continue to take them for the full time your doctor has prescribed, even if you are still experiencing some symptoms. On the other hand, if you have actually tried them for the correct time period and they have not helped, you might need to try a different medication. They have put me on one of these and it didn't help me, at all, and in addition, due ...

i have a problem in stomach,with gas trouble and three to four time motion in a day. How to rectify? ## Have you consulted a doctor? Razo-D contains the active ingredients Rabeprazole and Domperidone. And I am not certain it is going to help with your problem, since gas and stomach pain can actually be side effects of the Rabeprazole. For gas you might want to look into a product that contains Simethicone: And Loperamide is often used for diarrhea:
