Omeprazole
303 reviewsReviews
After many years on diclofenac I developed an ulcer and a tendency to reflux I do not take my 40mg every day but when the reflux strikes I take the omeprazole immediately then every morning for about a week, with occasional back up with Gaviscon. this I find keeps the reflux and pill popping under controll
I suffer from reflux and I produce lots of acid. These tablets really help cut the discomfort out. Before I had them I was getting lots of heartburn and discomfort but once I had 2 of these each night my symptoms have disappeared almost 100%.
I regret not taking this medicine, especially if I forgot a few days. When I am keeping up with my dose each day, I wouldn't know I'd got a problem.
I've suffered from gastick reflux for some time with effects such as cough and throat/chest problems that I thought were due to other causes. Normal antacids helped a bit but not enough. Omeprazole makes a real difference, particularly when taken at night when reflux (through sleeping/living down) makes the problem worse. One Omeprazole at night stops the reflux dead with no side effects for me.
I only said never to the last question as I am a patient not a Dr. and therefore I am not qualified to recommend prescription medicines
