Why Has My Omeprazole Changed Colors From Green To Pink And Reddish Brown
UpdatedI was taking omeprazole that was a 2-toned green color marked "mylan 6150; my prescription was refilled with a pink end marked APO on one end and 020 on the other end. Why was it changed?

Hello,
From what I can gather, the pill you have been given is simply a delayed release version of Omeprazole 20mg. Delayed release basically means that the medication stays in your system longer.
I can't tell you why you were switched to this version however, so I would definitely discuss that with your doctor if it concerns you.
I hope this info helps! :)
THE PINK OMEPRAZOLE 20MG IS NOT ANY GOOD,THEY DO NOT HELP ME AT ALL..They changed this med because its cheaper for them to buy.
Most of the time a color change comes with a manufacturer change. Once a medication has come off the secured list and can be made into a generic which omeprazole is, any company can manufacture it and the active ingredient in it is the same but the binders in the capsule can be different which can cause your body to react differently to it and the effectiveness can also be different because of this.
NONE OF THE MEDS IS NOT ANY GOOD..
I have been taking TEVA Omeprazole 20mg Yellow capsule No problem at all. Purple capsule sent on my last prescription. Since taking these i feel nauseus and sometimes bring liquid up. My chemist says they must have stopped making my original Omeprazole, and changed to Hard coating these are definately no good for me. Is this true ???
