Prilosec Question: Is there any information on the long term use of Prilosec for a term over 6 months to continued use forever?

When this drug came out it was limited to one month or so at a time. After further experience, this limit has been lifted. The drug has about a 5 year head start in Europe, and so far there are not any observed problems. Prilosec Question: I am taking Prilosec 20 mg for three years now and have been told that I may have to take them for many years to come. I also recently developed anemic problems. Could this be a possible result of long-term Prilosec use? Answer: Probably not. Try using big doses of H2 blockers for 6-8 weeks and see if your blood count or reticulocyte count rises. If it does, the prilosec may be the culprit. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Back to Medication/Pharmaceutical main page.
