Gillian D replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"Thanks Teresa I'll need to ask the dr about them next time we get a repeat omep prescription. Noah has cmpi but they've never told us to avoid lactose specifically and he seems reasonable settled on the mups they are just a pain in butt to…"
Teresa replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"Hi Gillian
Yeah im uk. We have Dr Reddies omeprazole capsules i find them loads easier than messing about dissolving the mups. If you ask for them check which brand they give dr reddies are ok but the losec capsules contain lactose if its something…"
Gillian D replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"Teresa are you in the UK? If so what version of omep do you get that comes in tablet form?
We get the losec mups but they are dissolvable so I need to dissolve the tablet in a little water, syringe the extra water off, add a spoonful of…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"We used Losec MUPS (the tablets that disperse to release little balls) and the orange nurofen syringe from 4m old with no problems. Haven't used the suspension but a lot of people have said LOs hate the taste or it makes them sick. We gave it…"
"Hi, my lo is on Lansoprazole which is basically the same type of medication. I use the method Giilian says (using orange Nurofen syringe) with excellent results. Been doing this for around 11 of her 22 weeks now with no problems at all. Started off…"
Hannah Wood replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion What can i expect from omeprazole"Awww, it took a little whe for omeprazole to work for us.

Teresa replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"The suspension is made using bi carb and it tastes bloody vile to put it politely. It made cole vomit and upset his tummy. We switched to the granules after a week. I've always found it very easy to give. We use the capsules, open them up mix…"
Gillian D replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"I could never get the nurofen syringe to work personally but that's because my little boy has a syringe aversion. Noah is on a 20mg dose per day and I give it all at once at 5:30pm.
The problem with a 1ml syringe is that the granules can…"
"How often do you have to give it, at the moment i am giving it to her twice, once in the morning and once at night. She has been really sick today, throwing up after ever feed, normally she has silent reflux so doesnt spit up that much …"
Gillian D replied to Amana Stoddart's discussion Omeprazole granules vs suspension"We've had both. Something in the make up of the suspension made my LR sick each time I gave him it.
