What's the best otc replacement for prescribed omeprazole 20mg ## Hello, Sabina! How are you? Lansoprazole is available over the counter and is in the same family of medications, there are even generic/store brands of it, so it's fairly inexpensive. Just check with your doctor to make sure that it's okay for you to make such a switch. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, hot flashes, irritability and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

omeprazole dr 2-mg - - - started 02/17/10 - - - 1 capsule a day - - have had stomach pain and watery diarrea the past 4 days/also some vomiting. So I have not taken my medications until today!!! Since I have started feeling better -- I resumed my medications today -- this afternoon the stomach pain has returned and the feeling that the diarrea is allso about to resume! ## Omeprazole can cause some stomach pain and diarrhea as side effects when you first start taking it. It should taper off as your body adjusts to the medication. If it doesn't, you will need to contact your doctor. Have you spoken to them about it?

the difference in cr cap and ec caps of omeprazole ## Both of those are just abbreviations that designate them as being time released products, so there is no real difference. The CR stands for controlled release and the EC stands for extended control. Learn more Omeprazole details here. It would be much easier if there was just one standardized designation, such as ER or XR, but there isn't. There are several that can be used and the manufacturer is free to use whichever one their whim led them to pick. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was diagnosed with EE (esophogial erosion) the doctor put me on dexilant (60 mg) and i am still experiencing a problem with my hiatal hernia. is this normal.

Actually, they are both the same type of medication, as listed by the FDA, they are both PPIs, so you'd essentially be doubling up, which isn't advisable. Additionally, the discomfort you're experiencing could be due to a side effect of the Dexilant, it can cause that, along with nausea, dizziness and the flatulence that you're experiencing. Which goes to the next point, neither one of these medications will alleviated your gas, they may actually cause it. How...

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.
