Omeprazole 2017-05-02 Person 2 5 0

I was on OMEPRAZOLE for antral gastritis for over 2 years and whilst it helped with the gastritis pain, I started to wonder if the joint pains I had were due to taking this medication, so I gradually stoped taking it by reducing dose and then stopped altogether, my joint pains improved within 2 weeks of stopping, but the biggest and most shocking thing was I thought I had developed cataracts, as my sight​ had deteriorated drastically to the point where my husband wouldn't let me drive, but I was shocked to find that within 2 Weeks of stopping omeprazole i could see clearly again, so I would never ever take them again for long term maybe only for short term use.
