Hi, my father is 56 years old and he is suffering from stomach ulcer and heartburn caused by that. His doctor prescribed him Prilosec and his is taking it for quite long time. I would like to know are there serious side effects on long term use of Prilosec. Thank you very much.

Hi, as many other medications Prilosec also has its side effects if you are using it for longer period of time. Fortunately these side effects are not serious except if someone is allergic on Prilosec. Side effects which this medication may cause are nausea, vomiting, headache and gas.Don't worry.
