It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Esomeprazole Details I hope this info helps!

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.

The capsule is green on one side, blue on the other and contains 40 mgs of Omeprazole. I have been taking it for two weeks and just this weekend started experiencing back pain, groin pain and have a great deal of gas. Took one about 1 hour ago and my back is killing me and I am passing gas terribly. I am not taking any more of these pills. ## The one with the Mylan 5222 marking on both halves? Yes, these proton pump inhibitors can cause some gas and stomach pain as side effects. Learn more Omeprazole details here. And the groin and back pain may just be due to the excess gas. However, if those pains continue, or worsen, then make sure that you seek medical attention. ## I am having severe cough, very bad throat irritation, disturbed sleep.

Are there any other questions or comments?

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???

Thus, it is very important to consult a doctor to get to the root of the problem and discover whether or not it is the medication. ## i am experiencing a severe, hacking, cough that is coincident after taking Omeprozole DR for five days. I have now had this cough for another five days. There is no cough medicine or syrup that will stop it. I also have hoarsness. Could these be side effects of this medication?

We also have a bottle of omedex plus from Mexico says it is esomeprazol equivalent of 40 mg red and white capsule no writing on capsule should I be afraid of it ## Omedex is listed as being a Mexican brand of Esomeprazole, which would be known by the name brand Nexium in the U.S. However, it is difficult to know if that's what they actually are, which is true of almost any medication from Mexico.

Is Omeprazole stronger than Dexilant 30mg? If I switch from Omeprazole 40mg to Dexilant 30mg will I have rebound acid? Is anyone PPI better for Ulcer healing than the other? ## Hello, Tdog!

I have a pink/blue capsule with G232 G on it. I think it is Prilosec, not sure. Everything I have found gives a different color. ## Glenmark Generics lists this capsule as being orange and purple, they say it contains 40mgs of Omeprazole in a time released formulation. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, and stomach pain. Colors can be subjective, though. Have you tried having someone else give their opinion? ## I have pink/light blue and peach-pink/purple capsules, and both say G232 G. Any idea what they are and what they're used for?
