It's dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, rash, weakness. There is no reliable data on how Omega and alcohol interact with each other, but even an amateur understands that it is not worth using.

Precautions

The presence of any serious symptoms, such as frequent vomiting with blood clots, dysphagia, weight loss, and suspected stomach ulcers is a direct contraindication to subsequent use of the drug. In this case, as well as in case of suspicion of malignant formation in the stomach and esophagus, the drug should be discontinued and diagnostics should be performed urgently( EGF), since Omeprozol( an analogue of Omeza) can dilute the symptoms of the disease and delay the correct diagnosis. Despite all the positive qualities that Omez possesses, how to take this drug or its analogues can be suggested only by the attending physician who knows the patient's medical history. Systematic monitoring of the patient's health during the taking of the drug is also necessary, since unreasonable intake of omeprazole can cause harm to health.

Today, in their practice, doctors prescribe potent drugs from the group of nimesulids under the cover of Omega, since in this case there is the possibility of the formation of a stomach ulcer. Such a move is often justified and allows you to take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs without risk to your health.
