Does anyone know what this means? Doctors,pharmacist?
Drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 (e.g., diazepam, warfarin, phenytoin, cyclosporine, disulfiram, benzodiazepines): Omeprazole can prolong their elimination. Monitor to determine need for possible dose adjustments when taken with Omeprazole (7) ??????????
Anyways I do have anxiety and am wondering if it would be okay to take a xanax. I usually take half of a peach one so I think the dosage is .25 or .2.5????
I have to take prilosec for H.Pylori. I am done with the antibiotic (thank goodness…I took my last antibiotic at 3p.m. today.) I have to take prilosec for 2 more weeks. I don’t really want too..
I still feel like crap..not from the ulcer but it seems like from the meds. I still have a nasty taste in my mouth and my tummy is queasy. I haven’t been sleeping either. So my body is stressed.
How long does the prilosec stay in your body? The clarithromycin(sp)?
Since I’m trying to eradicate H.pylori is there something else I could take instead of prilosec…something easier on the tummy? I hate taking drugs that seem by the side effects it could hurt you more than help you
Thanx for any advice

Prilosec is not an anti boitic to fight your Hlecobacter Pylori, but the Clarithromycin is. Prilosec helps reduce the acid in your stomach, and with the reflux you seem to have – nasty taste in mouth and queasy stomach. You would most likely get more of that taste without the Prilosec. If it’s alright for you to eat soda crackers (Saltine cracker), eat that instead of peach. Stay with your medicine, otherwise, tell your doctor about it so, he could give you a different way of dealing with your problem – if it’s available. If you are allowed, you can take some Gaviscone (a stronger form of TUMS), to help with your acid in your stomach.
