The doctor has prescribed me 20mg of omeprazole to take due to having a red throat is it safe to take?

Hi hiba

 I have taken this for a long time and I haven’t had any problems with it!! It is generic for Prilosec! Just remember everyone is different! Hope this helps!!!

OK for short term use but recent reports say could be dangerous over  long term use. Google PPI dangers.
