What is the difference in the omeprazole ec or dr 20mg capsules? ## Hello, Nikki! How are you? There is no difference, the EC and DR are both just different abbreviations that designate the medication as being time released. Omeprazole is classified by the FDA as a PPI and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was on omeprazole for about 3 years and it worked great. The last time I had it refilled it made my acid reflux worse and gave me nausea. The capsules are a different color than what I had been taking, is it possible they switched to a different type. ## What are the markings on the capsules? That's what would enable me to check them for you and see what they contain. I can't really tell you anything about them just from the slight information in your post.

Dr. thought reflux may be contributing to the voice problems so she changed me to 40 mg capsules. I have hmgad nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth and throa...

Hi all. So I have had this in the centre of my chest and left side for months on end. Had loads of heart tests done all came back clear. I am on omeprazole which helped for a bit, but it's back now in force. Constant pain so bad and shortness of breath. I keep getting scared it's a heart thing even though I have had all these tests. Can anyone help? Could costicondrices last for months and months? I am 38. I am just so scared all the time ## Sara I have had a long struggle with this as well. currently on Protonix(rx).

My doctor prescribed me 40mg prilosec I'm feeling tightness in my throat been off an on for months now some days not so notice able but other days worse what should I do ## Hello, C Duran! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you've been having. You should have this checked out, because that could be a symptom of acid reflux, it might not be due to the medication. The FDA lists Omeprazole as being a PPI, which is most commonly used to treat or prevent GERD, ulcers, heartburn and gastritis. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Are you also watching what you eat and drink to help the medication work better? Such as avoiding spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine? ## PL SIT UPRIGHT VERTICAL AFTER MEALS FOR AT LEAST...

I would like to know if it is possible to overdose on omeprazole? ## Hello, Danni! How are you? It is possible to overdose on anything, if you take too much. But you'd have to take quite a bit of this. Realistically, before you hit a fatal overdose amount, you'd likely end up doing organ damage. Do you know someone that has taken a lot? ## Pls... tl me should i take this before taking food or after food.!?

Generic omeprazole by Dr Reddy and Mylan worked fine for me. Sandoz omeprazole gave me a chronic sore throat. ## we purchased 40 mg omeprazole from CVS pharmacy. the blue bottle had a Mylan logo and a microdisplay pill picture of blue/green tablet with 5222 on the label. inside the bottle was a tan/white capsule marked "OME 40". This is a Sandoz mark for omeprazole. These pills were ineffective and sore throat with esphogeal effects unchanged. later real 40 mg Mylan 5222 from Rite Aid worked perfectly. what are literature citations regarding CVS practice and quality for the Sandoz product. I feel tricked by what may be deceitful conduct ## Hello, Pearl and David! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you both had. However, CVS isn't required to provide you with a...

I take 20mg twice a day for reflux/gerd, in my 3rd month and scheduled to reduce to once a day and then as needed by september. Originally my first 2 scripts were filled w white and yellow brand pill, my most recent was Sandoz brand - my pharmacy switched to this brand. Like some of the other posters I don't feel it is nearly as effective, my reflux is returning, and more frequently. I had zero problems before now it's like I am 10-15 days into my treatment. Also had a very strange oral reaction, maybe unrelated about 4-5 days after changing to this brand. But that med change is the only dietary or otherwise change I have made. Any insight appreciated ## Hello, Dave! How are you? What was the oral reaction you had? What are the markings on the pill you currently have? That will ...

INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS ## What is the difference between Isosorb Mono 30mg Ertabs and ISOSORBIDE ER TABS 30MG? I ordered each from different labs with the same perscription and the look totally different. The Isosorb Mono 30mg Ertabs are small and round and white. The ISOSORBIDE ER TABS 30MG are larger and oblong and pink. Are the pills the same with slightly different names and appearences, or are the different perscriptions? I need to know before I continue to take either one of the pills. Ron Diggs ## They are the same, there is just no regulation requiring that they look the same, they can look however the manufacturer wants them to, so appearance is the only difference. This drug is used primarily in the treatment of Agina Pectoris. Common side effects may include: nause...

THIS PILL HAS BEEN IN MY MED CABENT FOR LIKE 2 YEARS IS THERE A EXP TIME OR ARE THEY OK TO USE ## Hello, Joe! How are you> These contain 20mgs of Omeprazole, with is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. That said, if it the bottle was opened 2 years, like an over the counter bottle or in a bottle that was dispensed by your pharmacy, then they expired one year from that time. They don't get dangerous, when expired, but they do begin to lose efficacy and it would be best to dispose of them and pick up a new supply. However, if they were still sealed in the original factory container, then are usually good for 3 to 4 years. Is there anything else I c...

Experiencing debilitating knee joint pain lately and tried to rule out variables such as gluten sensitivity, dairy, etc etc. No improvement. Stopped taking this med and in days knee pain gone. Correlation? Why? ## Hello, MJCARNINO! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you've had. Yes, leg pain can be a side effect of this medication, though as is usual, there's real no explanation as for why it may cause it. However, there are other options that you can try.

this capsule is giben for backpain alongwith SAMONECPLUS n TIZAN 2. i just want to know is this prescription of subject item is the right prescrption? ## @pradeep, Just to confirm, Omeprazole is used to treat heartburn, and Domperidone is an antiemetic drug, that is typically used to treat symptoms of motion sickness (such as nausea and vomiting). So based on these indications I don't see how either of those options would be beneficial for back pain? The other two medications however, are meant to be used for pain relief (assuming you meant to say Tizanidine, which is a muscle relaxant). Samonec plus contains a combination of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Aceclofenac + Paracetamol. You can also learn more about each of these drugs on the pages for Aceclofenac Details, Pa...

Is it safe to take tumeric caps with lercandipine 10mg? ## Hello, Edith! How are you? I'm sorry, but the Tumeric is a supplement, not an actual medication, so it has not been evaluated for possible interactions with actual prescription meds. Have you tried asking your prescriber? They may know more. Are you on any other medications? ## Thank you so much for the reply Verwon. Am on Leracandipine 10mg and Omeprazole 20mg. Have just started with the Tumeric caps - 1 daily cap of 400mg. Had a blood test and liver enzymes were slightly elavated so trying the Tumeric to see if it helps bring them back to normal. Also using the spice in some meals. Tests to be repeated in 8 weeks. Regards Edith ## Hi Edith, from what I'm seeing Turmeric should be taken with caution if you are on any dr...
