Have any of you taken omeprazole for stomach ulcers (or anything else for that matter) before? I am going to commence the use of omeprazole next week and I am starting to get nervous about the potential side effects. Are there any? Do I have a reason to be worried about this?
As long as you eat regular meals and keep hydrated, it is not likely that omeprazole will cause you bad side effects. I have heard that constipation is one of the side effects of omeprazole, so you should take steps to prevent that by eating plenty of fibres and perhaps drink apple juice.
