Bloated And Sore Stomach. Been Taking Omeprazole & Metoprotol. CT Came Clear. Discontinue The Above Medicines And Start Dexilant?

I've just been given free sample bottles 15 doses, Dexilant; I have been experiencing bloating, nervous/sore stomach, my stomach is tender to the touch in the upper region. I had a CT scan week ago and it proved negative, I have been taking Omeprazole, 20 mg, once a day for years. I also take Lisinopril, 20 mg, once a day, and Metoprotol, 50 mg, twice a day. Should I begin taking Dexilant, 60 mg, once a day and discontinue Omeprazole for the time being until I use up the samples? My e-mail is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you for your response.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have been experiencing. Yes, these drugs have the same effects on the body. Because you have free samples of dexilant, I will suggest that you switch over and consume it before returning to spend more cash on omeprazole. Of course, it is a smarter decision and no one should miss out on such a big offer.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
