What is the difference? They appear to be the same drug but there has to be a difference otherwise why would there by 2 different colors and #s. Please advise. ## What is the difference between the KU R118 (off white/gold) vs. R158 lavendar and gray capsule? ## Omeprazole is a generic for Prilosec and, when a medication is available as a generic, it is usually made by several different companies, thus the only difference in the ones you've asked about is the manufacturer.

My mother has been taking Omeprazole for GERD for about a year, and she has been dealing with depression lately. She has always been a very upbeat person, so I do not think that any life events or other factors could be contributing to her mental health. This evening I read startling information that depression may actually be a serious side effect of Omeprazole and that she should report that to her doctor. At this point she does want to let her doctor know so that she can get off this med, but is also concerned that her pains from GERD will return. Can anyone recommend an alternative medication / supplement / or NATURAL treatment to keep the GERD under control (natural would be ideal)?? I really want her to be in a happier state as well as feeling good in her stomach. Any suggestions ...

I have been prescribed Omeprazole 20mg once a day in ams, plus Clorid/Clidi5-2.5 mg 3x daily before meals for gastro bloating, discomfort after each meal. The combo seems to work since I began 3 days ago. Maybe some extra sleepiness. Questions: Rx info sheet mentions some problems with this combo. What do you think? ## Our resources don't list any interactions using them together. Have you tried asking your pharmacist? They may have more information, especially if it is a problem that has been newly discovered that may not be updated in our databases, yet.

I have recently found out I have Celicas Disease lots of info out there but I'm getting mixed answers about is the prescription Omeprazole 40 mg gluen free?? Thx ## Who is the manufacturer? Omeprazole is a generic medication and the fillers used can vary from company to company, therefore there is no way to answer your question, without know what company made the particular product in question. That's probably why you are finding conflicting answers, there are probably some companies that do use gluten and some that don't.

I take Omeprazole CR 40mg 30min-1hr before supper. Is there a problem if I take my calcium at the same time. My calcium is time released. I take 2 tablets once a day. ## Hi Trudy, Based on the drug databases I checked, there aren't any interactions found between Calcium and Omeprazole. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but these databases state that they use every mean possible to ensure that their information is accurate. I hope this helps! ## Thank you, I appreciate the information.
