Omeprazole

[Potatoheat]

Hi all. Just wondering anyone gets stomach upsets when given different makes of omeprazole . Mine was changed last time , had gastritis and fast tummy for a week. Then back to old one this time same again, usual capsules are white , reacement ones are bright green and yellow, why the need for such dye in them, can't be good.

Hi potatoheat, I have the same problem with omeprazole and other meds. It's all down to the coatings. I manage by slowly swapping brands. As I take 2 a day I take one of one brand with breakfast always with food and the other before bed again with something to line the stomach. It took a few weeks but it works for me. Hope this helps.😊
