I used to suffer with terrible heartburn and indigestion so when my doctor prescribed omeprazole I didn't think it would work but it does and I am so pleased.I always know if I forget to take it because I get a little twinge of heartburn so if there is anyone out there thinking about taking it I would completely recommend it

I'm sure humans are designed to have stomach acid. A doctor prescribed omeprazole for me for reflux - he did not try and work out why I had reflux, he just prescribed this so that the reflux would become alkaline. Still have reflux ! Surely he should have found out why I had reflux ? Stomach acid is essential for the breakdown of protein foods, for the absorption of certain minerals and vitamins, ie calcium and B12. It's also essential that the stomach contents are of sufficiently high acid when the contents are released into the duodenum so that the 'switch' in the pancreas releases enzymes for fat digestion. And stomach acid kills harmful bacteria - if these are not killed there can be bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine which can cause all sorts of problems.

Not sure if it has done what it was supposed to do but in terms of effects, I do have nightmares and get very hot at night.

Profile

Omeprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Omeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
