Omeprazole
« on: April 07, 2009, 19:20:08 PM »
I did try to search for this on previous posts but couldn't find anything.

When we start to come to Fethiye for 6 months at a time - I have to take one tablet each morning for digestive problems - is it possible to buy this from the local chemists and if anyone has bought it can you tell me how much it costs?

Ian  :)

Ps I will also try to use the Manuka Honey to ween myself off these capsules before we go  :)

The name that it's sold under here is Lansor (Lansorprazole). You can buy in it most chemists and it's currently priced at 26.44 TL for 30 capsules.

KKOB / Terrie - many thanks - I now know if the Manuka doesn't work there is an option.

Thanks for the replies  :)

Hi Ian

I also take Omeprazole and bought it at ot the ADA pharmacy next to the big hospital regularly with no problems at all whilst we lived there.  Just take an old packet with you so they can check the name on their computer.

I also take Omeprazole. It is a PPI (protein pump inhibitor) and suppresses the production of acid to prevent reflux, mainly for people with hiatus hernias.
Be careful as Omeprazole and Lansorprazole are not exactly the same. When first diagnosed my doc tried me on both of these plus another, ???prazole as some can have side effects.
It's so long ago that I can't remember what the side effects were but I settled on Omeprazole and remain on it.

Ian
I was wondering how you were getting on with the Manuka Honey - active 10+ is still available in Sainsburys at £5.99. Didn't you try it properly?
I've been off the Omeprazole ever since I posted about my miracle honey cure - seems like yesrs ago now & haven't had ANY problems since. IF I start feeling any acidity just a day or 2 of Manuka knocks it on the head. The last jar I bought must have been a good 3-4 months ago.
Considering how bad I was even when taking the Omeprazole (which just masks the symptoms & doesn't cure it) I'm SO pleased that I found Manuka.
It also works on wounds/ulcers & MRSA - better than prescribed medications.
