Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not sure about ondonoprezil. Omeprazole is not useful for cramps in legs, feet and fingers.
2. Calcium deficiency or potassium deficiency is normally known to be associated with cramps.
3. Get a serum calcium and potassium level evaluated.
4. Based on test results, calcium or potassium oral supplements can be taken. Also have good hydration.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
