Can Taking Omeprazole Be Safe For Acidity And Pain In Stomach?

Well I ve been having acid indigestion problems as it seems, I usually get it once a month. I will get a pain in my stomach for about 1 night, and then when I wake up in the morning at a random time it will just get very very severe and it takes about a week for me to fully heal from it. I have been put on Omeprazole. I started taking this medication in April. I felt fine for a little over a month and then it came. I drink a lot of cokes and I feel sure that it s the problem. But at school I do not eat lunch and that morning I had a glass of coke and nothing else. The pain started that night and at about 9 in the morning it got very bad. It s been about a month now and I ve felt fine. I ve been drinking water and eating meals regularly, But im still afraid it might come back. I usually have 2 cokes a day maybe 3 but I drink PLENTY of water. I m just worried it might come back

Hi,

The coke is the cause for your acidity and same has to be stopped though it would be tough and bit annoying for you, but its true. Consume Omeprazole for 2 times a day with sips of water on empty stomach till symptoms are resolved, which will disappear very fast once the coke consumption is stopped.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
