[posted 12/04/98] Question: I have been taking Prilosec for several years for GERD. I have been very fatigued lately with no energy. I looked at the side effects from the the drug store, and this was listed as a rare side effect. I also noticed unusual bleeding as a rare side effect. I have had a problem with heavy menstral flow for several years and have complained to my gynecologist. I also noticed cloudy urine and and had sores in my mouth. I quit taking the medication and switched to Zantac on my own. I have an appointment with my doctor in a few weeks. Could you tell me more about Prilosec and how it works and why it causes these side effects. A friend told me your liver needs to be monitored through blood tests. Is this true?
