Is myopathy a side effect of OMEPRAZOLE ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of OMEPRAZOLE patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 97 individuals taking OMEPRAZOLE reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 74199 OMEPRAZOLE drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between OMEPRAZOLE and myopathy. In doing so, we compare OMEPRAZOLE with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not OMEPRAZOLE causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of OMEPRAZOLE, so you can see if myopathy ranks among OMEPRAZOLE's most well-known side effects.

QUESTION LUNG INFECTION	I am 31, and lucky enough to be very healthy. I very recently struggled with stress-induced heartburn. Doc put me on Omeprazole 40mg once daily, and Sucralfate when a scope found a pre-ulcer. In the two months I've been on these medications, I've gotten three colds. This last one resulted in pneumonia. I was extremely sick. I never used to get sick...a cold maybe once every other year. It seems odd to me that I have been so sick since beginning these medications. Is there a link between them and lowered immunity? How do I get this pre-ulcer healed and not risk pneumonia again by continuing a drug that is possibly hurting my immune system?? Please help!	2016-01-30 23:08:13
