Dosage & Administration

-Administer 30 to 60 minutes before a meal; best if taken before breakfast. If administering twice daily, first dose should be administered before breakfast and the second dose before dinner. -Optimal preendoscopic PPI therapy is uncertain. Some experts suggest initiating high-dose IV PPI with continuous or intermittent dosing in patients with suspected active upper GI bleed prior to endoscopy. Following endoscopy, for patients with high-risk stigmata of recent bleeding (eg, active bleed, visible vessel, adherent clot), a continuous infusion of an IV PPI for at least 72 hours before transitioning to an oral PPI is recommended.

Side Effects

-omeprazole, may increase risk of enteric infections in adult and pediatric patients, including gastroenteritis and Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD). Long-term use of acid suppressive therapies, including omeprazole, may result in reversible vitamin B12 deficiency. Respiratory system disorder, skin rash abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, asthenia, back pain, cough, upper respiratory infection.

Safety Advice

-In patients who have received continuous therapy for >6 months, gradually taper therapy until discontinuation to avoid worsening or rebound symptoms. If the patient is receiving 40 mg once or twice daily, decrease the dose by 50% every week. For patients receiving twice-daily dosing, the first dose reduction can be achieved by decreasing to once-daily. -Hepatic Impairment: Adult: Mild to severe impairment: 10 mg once daily when used for maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis. -Should not be used in case of Hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, angioedema, bronchospasm, acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, urticaria) to omeprazole, -Prolonged treatment (≥2 years) may lead to malabsorption of dietary vitamin B12 and subsequent vitamin B12 deficiency. -Incase of over dose be ready to tell or show what was taken, how much and when it happened, and seek immediate medical attention.
