Prilosec [posted 8/11/98] Question: Is one of the side effects of Prilosec headaches?
Occasionally, but uncommon. Prilosec Allergic Reaction [posted 7/27/98] Question: After being on Prilosec for a week I noticed my ankles starting to swell. The following week my ankles and legs both swelled to the point they felt tight. From my knees down I broke out with eczema (red bumpy itchy rash). I had an over all feeling of aching. I had a slight wheeze to my breathing. I developed stomatis in the roof of my mouth with thrush on the back of my tongue. I stopped the Prilosec over three weeks ago. My doctor put me on Nystatin oral solution for 10 days. I am extremely allergic to candida (diagnosed about 15 years ago). I feel being on the Prilosec and reducing the acid in my system caused the candida to kick in throughout my system. Is this a common side effect of Prilosec, or am I a freak of nature? I started Diflucan two days ago as I still am having some problems – still slight swelling of ankles, rash continues but not as bad, scalp now itches immensely. I would appreciate any
