So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Sounds as though you have had a lot to contend with over the years. Looks like not everyone suffers long term effects. I just hate being on medication that I might not need, even if no problems with it. Some months later I was discussing all the meds I was on with my Rheumatologist as I wanted to take as little as possible.
I told him I never had reflux. Thank you GerriMc. That is reassuring. Will update after the appointment. I should hope so - since PPIs increase the risk of cardiovascular disease quite considerably!
I do wish they'd stop handing out things "just in case". I was prescribed Omeprazole when I started on pred to protect my stomach. I take Adcal too. I've never suffered with reflux. I'm going to reduce and come off Omeprazole and take my pred with a little yogurt and my daily porridge as I did this morning.
I was told to take the omeprazole 30 mins before food. Hi Janstr. With all the information received you might have to discuss with your GP if they are all required. I have osteoporosis, so need the AA. Omeprazole is to stop stomach issues with the others.

Hi folks. I had a question. I started Prednisone a few weeks back and the doc prescribed me Omeprazole as well. When I take that stuff, I have the worst stomache issues ever, cramps, bloating, and more. Do I NEED to take the omeprazole with the prednisone or can people take prednisone without the acid medication? Well I was put on Omeprazole for a while to deal with the horrible intense acid-reflux and heartburn i was getting from my dose of pred Because steroids in this case, prednisolone can cause gastritis, and several other stomach-related adverse effects, doctors often prescribe anti-acid medication such as Omeprazole alongwith.
Omeprazole, normally, does not cause the symptoms you report. It may even be prescribed to some patients that have these symptoms! You may not, individually, be 'tolerating' either the Omeprazole, the steroid, or any other medication you might have been prescribed alongwith. I have taken steroids for anaphylaxsis and my son is on them for NS. I can tolerate high doses without reflux meds for atleast 2 weeks but he can't. I guess it is just an individual response.
However if ur treatment plan requires you to take the steroids for a long period then I would advise that u stay on either Omeprazole or an alternative. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with those meds. I take both of them every day and have never had a problem, other than that the prednisone ,makes my sugar go high, so I'm being weaned off it.

Calling this card if you are other options. I am hoping That I can come off both due to low dose of steroids currently.I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather and progressing well with our common health issue. I recently asked about taking Alendronic Acid and got some good variable advice. I have been on it for just over a year and Like DL have had no major side effects but hate taking it. I decided to stop it 2 weeks ago as I am now only on 2 mgs of Prednisolone and will discuss with my Rheumatologist in 2 weeks. My current concern now is Omeprazole. I have also taken this with the Prednisolone but have recently read that it can weaken your bones and cause fractures so now considering 1.
Do I restart the Alendronic Acid or 2. Stop Omeprazole also. I am not on any supplements as my calcium was raised initially but have since been within normal limits. I have not had a bone scan but will also discuss this at my appointment.
Does anyone take Omeprazole or had any problems with it? I have been fine with it but just worried about any effect on my bones without the Alendronic Acid. I am hoping That I can come off both due to low dose of steroids currently. Sorry if the message is a bit confusing but any thoughts or current experience would be welcomed. My pharmacist told me to take them apart, pred in the morning and omaprazole at night - sorry I've got pred have and can't remember exactly why but it was something to do with efficacy and not upsetting the stomach.
Thanks for your reply. I have always taken them about an hour apart. I had no specific instructions given. It does seem counterproductive to take a medication to protect your stomach which is implicated in leading to bone thinning.
Did you actually need to take the PPI or was it just prescribed along with your pred? Was AA prescribed because you already had osteoporosis or as a preventative measure when you started pred? If the PPI and AA were prescribed along with pred "just in case" I don't suppose there's any reason why you shouldn't discontinue them both.
I think I've read, however, that you need to taper off Omeprazole as there will be some rebound acid production if you stop suddenly. I was prescribed Omeprazole and AA as a preventitive measure. No bone scan done and it does seem counterproductive. I will wean myself off and discuss a bone scan when I see my Rheumatologist. I will arrange a private scan if not referred for one. There is no reason why you can't stop omeprazole. The function of the PPI is to reduce stomach acid output and guard against stomach ulcers.
That's the theory but in practice some patients have a lot of difficulty coming off PPIs because of the way they exert their effect. Rebound acid production is usually the problem.
There are some excellent webpages which you may find helpful if you are one of the unlucky ones. I suggest you read some of them and then decide how to progress once informed. You are quite correct in saying that PPIs affect bone mineralization and indeed osteoporosis is listed in the PIL patient info leaflet.
Goodness knows why NICE changed their recommendation away from Ranitidine histamine H2 antagonist which achieves the same result? A point which other readers may like to consider They can be used for temporary relief though the literature will tell you that PPIs take three days to start working. My personal experience does not concur. Being of a very cynical nature - maybe someone on the committee had undeclared interests in PPIs?
It does happen. They aren't in fact. Thank you for the information and it has been very helpful. I have not had any major effects from taking it but have been on it for 13 months.
Don,t feel I now need it with low dose Prednisolone. I have Barretts syndrome and have been taking a PPI for years - I take my PPI and Prednisilone in the morning together with Ramipril for blood pressure and vit D, Glucosamine for knees , and a few other self prescribed supplements. Am I doing it wrong? I also take mine in the morning so no you are not doing it wrong. You could try going without for a day However, I will try alternate days.
I have been taking Omeprazole for various reasons on and off for years, with no idea until recently about the risk of osteoporosis. I am sitting in the GP waiting room right now awaiting a consultation on this very matter. Have taken Omeprazole and Lansoprazole before but both eventually upset my stomach have been PMR case for 5years Thro' these learned fellow sufferers, I have taken thick unsweetened Greek yoghurt instead and so far so good -for a long time. I have a cup of tea.
Breakfast varies -weekdays- cereals usually with a little more yogurt. Fri- boiled egg on toast ,Sat-fried egg and toast, Sun - almond croissant. Thank you for your reply. I have porridge and yogurts as part of my diet so will use as a replacement for Omeprazole. I can't take porridge or cereals or bread cause of my type 2 diabetes.
I used to hate yoghurt but have force fed myself in order to like it - so I take a small tub of greek style yoghurt and a boiled egg in the morning with my tablets. On discharge from hospital in is was given Lansoprazole 15mgs, to be taken half to one hour before the preds and aspirin.
I have thick porridge before taking the preds every morning and have so far been fine without the PPI. After a Dexa scan and being given incorrect results from such I refused to take Alendronic Acid, I was given a death threat for refusing to take them.
Alarms bells rang when I checked the results on a web site which I could understand. My results indicated Osteopenia. They got my height wrong, I was shocked to see that I had lost three inches in height so I measured it myself and I have lost just about an inch in height. They also got the BMI wrong. Hi again Mitziecat. So, saw GP. She dictated the referral while I was there and said it would take about 3 months. Asked me what PMR symptoms I have.
Checked for scalp tenderness and asked about headaches, blurred vision etc. She was happy to leave my tapering pred to me and given me a load of blood test forms to check everything is on and repeat again in 3 months.
Did she check your calcium and vit D levels? No bisphosphonate of any sort without - if they aren't right it is a waste of time Hi PMRpro. Thanks for keeping an eye on that. Thank you Nerak12 for your reply. It is a worry about the long term impact on the bones and crumbling spines etc. We have to make our own informed choices after researching natural alternatives or finding out the state of our bones in the process. As far as Omeprazole was concerned, rather than it protecting my stomach, it caused stomach problems so was consigned to the bin after a few days.
Likewise with Lansoprazole. Instead, I ate a 'live' probiotic yoghurt each day before taking Pred. As you are now on such a very low dose of Pred, as long as your bones are in good condition now, then you have done the right think in ditching the AA, BUT you should have had a DEXA scan done at the outset of steroid treatment so do get one done asap to find out the present state.
Thank you for the advice and you are quite right. Priority to get a scan done to know if I am at risk of osteoporosis. Reassuring to know that you have never needed it. I think diet can and exercise can play an important part. I so agree about diet and exercise - diet-wise I ate plenty of oily fish as well as calcium-rich food, and exercise-wise, once the PMRGCAUK symptoms were under sufficient control, I did Tai Chi and Nordic Walking, the latter being particularly helpful.
I read about the calcium and Vit D on this forum and phoned the GP and they were prescribed straight away - thanks to this forum. Not prescribing it for me was an oversight on the part of both my rheumy and GP who both admitted it - each apparently thought the other had put me on it!
Being long before these PMR forums - or in fact the PMR Charities were around diagnosed over 15 years ago - I knew nothing about it at the time - so long live forums such as this!
To be honest - I'm not sure how AA and omeprazole fit together anyway. Omeprazole can lead to reduced bone density all on its own - because it interferes with the absorption of calcium. AA requires adequate calcium to be available to increase bone density. Did you have your calcium and vit D levels checked regularly?
If you do decide to stop the omeprazole don't go cold turkey - it will lead to what is called rebound acid production. Reduce the dose slowly - or switch to ranitidine Zantac instead which also reduces the acid production but seems a bit easier to stop.
Many of us never took omeprazole for all sorts of reasons but took pred in the middle of a meal or with yoghurt. I have had both calcium and vit D checked regularly and both reported to be OK.
