Thank you for using HCM. Proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec (omeprazole) rarely cause late hypersensitivity but still its possible. Caution is advised as you might have gotten exposed to an allergen also. Please visit the ER at the earliest as anaphylaxis and laryngeal edema if it occurs then its life threatening.
