Medication Advice

Asked for Female, 61 years

Recently my mother started using omeprazole for her reflexes. She had mild arthritis in her right knee. Now she complains about her knee being in pain more frequently. She also has fastened heart beats occasionally. My question is should she carry the medicine or stop it? And is there any other medication you recommend in place of omeprazole?

Dear Patient,

I'm not aware of omeprazole causing pain or palpitations. However, if you want to you can omit omeprazole and give her 1tbsp gaviscon syrup before meals twice or thrice a day in its place to treat the reflux.
