Pharmacodynamics

Special instructions

In the presence of any alarming symptoms, such as significant spontaneous weight loss, frequent vomiting, dysphagia, hematemesis or melena, as well as in the presence of a gastric ulcer (or suspected gastric ulcer), the possibility of malignancy should be excluded, since treatment with Omez® may lead to a smoothing of symptoms and delay diagnosis.
A decrease in the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach under the influence of proton pump inhibitors leads to an increase in the growth of normal intestinal microflora and may lead to a slight increase in the risk of developing intestinal infections caused by bacteria of the genus Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., as well as Clostridium difficile bacteria.

Reduced acidity while taking omeprazole may also lead to decreased absorption of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin).
With simultaneous use of omeprazole with clopidogrel, a decrease in the antiplatelet effect of the latter is observed.
