Is Sudden Withdrawal From Omeprazole And Diclofenac Advisable?
Hello. I am a 69 year old female, who has taken omeprazole and 75mg of diclofenac for many years as a treatment for arthritis. I have recently developed a fast heart rate with prolonged QT interval and want to stop taking the drugs. Can I stop taking them suddenly and if I do what will be the possible effects, apart from arthritis pain? Thank you

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is better to stop the treatment because it is not the curative treatment, this is the analgesic (NASID) may have some harmful side effects, hope this information helps.
