In 2013 I had an endoscopy due to my complaints of difficult swallowing with sharp pain, I was told that I had a ulcer at the esophagus stomach area, due to reflux and I was to take Omeprazole 40 mg in the mornings. In 2011 I had a bone density that showed only some pineaporosis (sp) In 2013 my bone density results were more than moderate osteoporosis . I had taken actonel for several years, maybe nine or more, but it was to be stopped for two years. In 2009 had non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and was treated with Moderate chemical therapy, COHR that might not be the correct initials. My lab work remained normal, all of it. I take Trazodone 50 mg., Cymbalta 60. Oh, yes I am taking Prolia twice yearly. Zectec 10 mg, , Asa 81 grs, omeprazole 40 mg. multi vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, vit B12. I am 72, and I am in good health, eat right, Exercise , . My question is this: my gastroenterologist wants me to take on the Omeprazole 40 mg., and actually I have been on this medication off and on a good bit, years. I am blaming Vytorin as a failure to me, and the anti acid drug, promoting osteoporosis in me. Can you think of anything I can do? I see my oncologist in five days, so your advise might prove helpful. Also, my daughter is a Family Doctor.
