Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been taking Omeprezole manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals ltd.
Sandoz is name of renowned pharmaceutical company in the world andnot the name of a drug.
You can take any substitute drug containing Omeprezole.manufactured by other pharmaceutical company .There is no harm in taking other brand of the same drug even you are kidney patient.
