Are you on acid (blockers)? Are acid blockers bad for you?
Did you know that acid-blocking drugs are designed for short-term use and that they are linked to malabsorption, digestive issues, and neuroendocrine tumors? It can be tricky to get off of them, but we have supported countless clients in doing so.
Here is a list of the side-effects of Prilosec (omeprazole):
SIDE EFFECTS
The following serious adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in labeling:
Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of omeprazole. Because these reactions are voluntarily reported from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their actual frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
