@nightngale1998 I substituted Zantac for Omeprazole.

@dandl48 does ask a good question, though. Have you discussed this change with your doctor? Do you have a specific reason for the change. Long term use of Omeprazole can result in other health issues. Is this the reason why you want to change?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Welcome to Connect @jillmaguire10,

Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), used to treat certain conditions where there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers, erosive esophagitis, dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/omeprazole-oral-route/description/drg-20066836

May I ask what brings you to Connect, @jillmaguire10?

There is a need to take a break from the medicine. Take a break after 6 weeks or so. Read WebMD. Ask your doctor
