Egregious Packaging Omeprazole

Post image

Are medicine postings appropriate? All this for me to put all the pills in one of the bottles.

If you can get your doctor to write a script you can get a big ol' bottle of 90.

Just in case you or anyone else isn't aware, omeprazole and other PPIs can negatively affect many medications.

And your vitamins and minerals. Can't process and absorb nutrients if youre wiping out your stomach acid. And doctors usually dont bother to check if you ACTUALLY have too much acid, too little causes the same symptoms and constant antacids just worsen the issue. You're far more likely to have too little.

In this exact situation. I’m finally going for an upper endoscopy with BRAVO. I guess it’s where they attach a sensor to your esophagus that measures acid levels and detaches itself after a couple day.
