If it doesn't say, it typically doesn't matter. I don't see why a proton pump inhibitor would have an impact from alcohol, although digestion of it may be inhibited by the Omeprazole (after all, you need stomach acid to digest your food). However, I would ask your doctor or pharmacist to be on the safe side... better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Health/nutrition classes, personal research and http://www.drugs.com/omeprazole.html (which has no warnings about alcohol)



Yes you can, there is no interaction between PPIs and alcohol.

FYI..if there is a direct interaction, it will always state it on the patient information leaflet that comes with your drug.



Yes.

I do it all the time.
