Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have gastroparesis for 7 months. I was prescribed omeprazole, 25 mgs, 2 x day. My doctor then increased this dosage to 4x daily. I still have heartburn, chest pain regardless. I ve been reading that Omeprazole can cause gastroparesis. Previously, for 2 years, I ve been taking Vicodin 4x daily for fibro pain. Stopped the Vicodin in April, with no improvement in gastric emptying.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such condition need to be managed with Omeprazole 40 mg with Domperidone 30 mg once in day for six weeks and it has to be taken at evening time, try this and it will give best result hope this information helps.
