Sandoz omeprazole is inferior and does not have the same efficacy as other generic omprazole manufactured in the state. The FDA is NOT doing their job to protect Americans from inferior medications produced overseas. RiteAid has turned to maximizing profits over the safety of their customers by purchasing these drugs from manufacturers like Sandoz ## I'm having the same issue with Sandoz omeprazole. CVS changed to this brand in the summer of 2015 and I started experiencing acid reflux problems that very same day. Now again Express Scripts gave me the same Manufacturer's omeprazole 40mg and the very same day I again started having problems.

OMEPRAZOLE 20 mg IS THIS MEDICINE STILL EFFECTIVE & SAFE TO TAKE NOW ? ## It doesn't get dangerous, once it's expired, but it has most likely started to lose some efficacy and won't work as well. The best thing to do would be to dispose of them and pick up some new capsules that would be fully effective. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If a medication expires April 2013, does it mean beginning of April or end of April? ## My Omeprazole was issued on 12/3/2013; it is now two years later. I read in one study, Omeprazole lost 10% effectiveness at 180 days (not exposed to light, kept at Rh 50% and ~70 degrees F...very similar conditions for my pills). What is the effectiveness or degradation at two years? Would the calculation be linear or a curve? Can you point m...

Hi, I took 20 mg Omeprazole, 10 mg Atorvastatin, 25 mg Hydrochlorot, and 5 mg Amlodopine at about 4:00. Then at about 6:30 I forgot I took them and I took all 4 of them again! I also took my regular evening medicines as directed about 8:30. Those are 100 mg Sertraline and 5 mg Lisinipril. Should I do anything...is this harmful this once? ## Hello, Ami! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? The main concern would be the blood pressure medications, since as explained by the FDA, taking more than you should could result in your blood pressure dropping too low and your experiencing a very low heart rate. The possible symptoms listed include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and palpitations.

What I ended up having to take was Pepcid, which contains the antacid Famotidine. Learn more Famotidine details here. I had to take it for about 3 months, before I started to see results. With the medications, such as Omeprazole, it can take about that long, as well, and sometimes up to 4 months. Learn more Omeprazole details here.

The pharmacy has changed the manufacturer of my 20 mg Omeprazole from Sandoz to Dr.Reddy Labs. Know when I take my dosage I am getting a tremendous pain across my chest that lasts about an hour. HELP! ## Hello, Sturg! How are you? Are you making sure to take it with a full 8ounce glass of water, unless your on fluid restriction? A lot of times that happens due to dry swallowing pills. If this one isn't working for you, it could also be due to GERD. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Have you consulted your doctor? All chest pain should be evaluated, just in case. ## Thank's for response, Gerwon, I usually have it with 8 oz of OJ in morning with no prob. I will try it with a full glass of...

I have taken omeprazole for 18 years. My system and blood tests all seem ok. My son says I should stop and take apple vinegar before each meal to save my liver. ## Hello, Joliver! How are you? Actually, having taken it for that long, the concern isn't your live, but the risks of hip fractures. PPIs are known to cause them with long-term use, as listed by the FDA. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. However, there is nothing that proves apple cider vinegar to work. Thus, the best thing to do would be to speak to your doctor about your concerns and see what they recommend. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is the omeprazole capsule 20mg colored light and dark green with the word mylan 6150 the same as a light purple capsule with g231 and a g on the other half, is this capsule omeprazole also? ## Hello, Star! How are you? No, they are not the same. The one manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals contains 20mgs of Omeprazole in a regular release formulation, but the one manufactured by Glenmarks Generics contains 20mgs in a time released formulation. The FDA classifies Omeprazole as a PPI, which is used to help lower the amount of acid produced by the stomach to help treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis.

For about 3 years now I have been taking Omeprazole 20mg. 1x a day, made by Reddy's, and have been feeling fine. Recently our prescription provider through our insurance sent me my new prescription made by Sandoz maufacturers; they are white as opposed to the bluish/gray made by Reddy's. I don't think they are working the same, does that make sense? ## Hello, Martyz4! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Why have you been taking it for so long? Long-term use increases the risk of sudden hip fracture, which is why PPI's are usually only used for up to 4 months, at a time, then a break is taken. Learn more Omeprazole details here. And if you've been taking the same dosage for about 3 years, it could be that your body has just gotten used to the ...

whenever I eat, I feel like my stomach is full and to go for bowel imm after eating. Recently I started getting extremely stinky burps, vomiting and diarrhea (All smells the same) especially when i eat meat. But whenever I take Omez, I feel good and the problem goes away for the time being. Can you tell me what is the problem with me? ## Have you consulted a doctor? That's really the only way you are going to be able to get a definitive diagnosis. Your problem may be caused by some excess stomach acid, which could be causing gas and the other related problems, which is why the Omez helps, since it contains Omeprazole, which reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. ## I have exact same issues. Please write me back, I'd like to talk to you to see if we have similarities...

I originally take OMEPRAZOL DR 40MG CAP APO. Now I take OMEPRAZOL DR 20MG CAP APO and it doesn't work as well as the 40MG CAPS... Can I take 2 of the 20MG CAPSULES? ## Hello, Arneta! How are you? Well, it is a lower dosage, so it's not going to work as well as the higher dosage did. It will take awhile for your body to adjust to the lower dosage. However no, you shouldn't raise the dosage again, without your doctor's approval. Long-term use of these PPIs risks hip fractures, according to FDA warnings. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

what does ic mean ? what does dr mean ? ## Hello, Petey! How are you? The IC means that your doctor wants you take it between meals, so you're not taking it when you first wake up on an empty stomach. The DR means delayed release, so it is a time release formulation of the medication. The FDA classifies Omeprazole as being a PPI that is most commonly used to treat or prevent heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take OMEPRAZOLE DR 20MG CAP APO...WHAT DOES APO MEAN???
