I started taking it in May for inflamed esophagus and reflux. I’m concerned because I read Prilosec can be harmful to body. You apparently have not had issues with the medicine ??may I ask your approx age ? I turned 60 but I’ve had heartburn and reflux for at least 5-6 years .. just kept putting it off unfortunately

Hi, @jmedj55 - I see that you've recently joined Mayo Clinic Connect, so I'd like to welcome you. Sorry to hear about all the heartburn and reflux you've had to endure.

Hoping that here you will get to meet some of the members in this discussion talking about omeprazole (Prilosec) and see if they have had any issues with this medication. Please meet @dandl48 @ksdm @archiemom @debraj63 and others. I'd also like you to meet @jlharsh.

Have you noticed any side effects from taking omeprazole thus far since May, jmedj55?
