• Seek urgent help for facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty, severe rash, blistering skin, severe or persistent diarrhea, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, or seizures.

Contraindications

• Do not use if allergic to omeprazole, other proton-pump inhibitors, or any capsule ingredient.
• Seek medical assessment before use if there is unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, persistent vomiting, or severe abdominal pain.
• Use cautiously in liver disease, previous low magnesium, osteoporosis, vitamin B12 deficiency, or a history of intestinal infection.
• Long-term or high-dose use should be medically monitored because it may increase risks such as low magnesium, vitamin B12 deficiency, fractures, or intestinal infections.

Precautions & Warnings

• May interact with clopidogrel, warfarin, phenytoin, diazepam, tacrolimus, digoxin, and some HIV medicines.
• May reduce absorption of medicines requiring stomach acid, including ketoconazole, itraconazole, and certain iron products.
• High-dose methotrexate may require temporary discontinuation under specialist supervision.
• Rifampicin, carbamazepine, and St John’s wort may reduce omeprazole exposure.
• Tell the clinician about all prescription medicines, antacids, supplements, and herbal products before use. Limit alcohol if it worsens symptoms.

• Available human data have not shown a clear increased risk of major birth defects, but use during pregnancy should be based on medical advice.
• Use the lowest effective dose when treatment is necessary and avoid self-medication during pregnancy.
• Consult a healthcare professional before breastfeeding; omeprazole may pass into breast milk and treatment should be assessed individually.
