In the uk - and trying to find a PPI that has No SLS - (Sodium lauryl sulfate) Having spent months excluding this nasty little enemy from all my cosmetics and toiletries, I am very disappointed to find it is in my omeprazole.

Any ideas anyone?

Yes go to your pharmacist for a consult

As you know being in the UK they now have Minor Ailments and prescribing abilities

They have ACCESS to all your medication for contraindications

They have spent YEARS studying on interactions and are DEFINATELY your first port of call

Best wishes hope you get sorted ASAP

Do this. Even GP's consult pharmacists for detailed discussions. Good luck.
