I've been taking Prilosec 20mg capsules for a few weeks now to manage my acid reflux and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced some of the side effects mentioned in the medication guide, such as headaches or nausea. I've also had some concerns about the more severe side effects, like electrolyte imbalance or kidney problems. How common are these? Is anyone else on here taking this medication, and how have you been managing the side effects? Trying to decide if it's a medication I can safely take long-term.

I've been taking Prilosec 10mg Powder Pack 30's for a few weeks now to manage my acid reflux, and I've been wondering if anyone else has experienced significant side effects. The list of possible side effects is quite long, and I'm curious to know if anyone has had issues beyond the common ones like headache or stomach pain. Are there any tips for managing these side effects, or should I be concerned about the more severe reactions mentioned? How common are these side effects, and what should I do if I start to experience something more serious? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Prilosec 2.5mg Granules (for Susp)? I have been administering to my 5 year old who has acid reflux and I am worried about some side effects. I know Prilosec is commonly used, but I'd love to hear from others who have used this medication, especially in its granular form. Can anyone provide insights into the side effects, particularly the severe and potentially life-threatening ones? I want to be prepared and vigilant, especially since my child is still young. I also have questions regarding the lesser-known side effects, such as electrolyte imbalances and skin reactions. Does anyone have personal experiences or medical advice to share?
