Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about dry mouth and night sweats. While this is possible, i will like to know whether this has been going on and whether it coincides with the start of this treatment with omeprazole. Are there any other medications you are on? This because other drugs are more notorious at this than omeprazole.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
