HadIt.com Elder tagandbag Posted April 29, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 29, 2009 I am just now reading this post maybe too old but I hope you read this. Like you I was on Omeprazole (prilosec) for years and developed a cough. First does the cough start after meals/eating? If it does than it is not related to the medication what it is is worsening reflux (GERD). For me I ended up having a surgical procedure called Nissen Fundoplication which is a procedure that completely aleviated the cough and reflux (GERD) and need for medications. Hope you see this and it helps. The surgery was a very good decision for me in my opinion. Bergie Pretty interesting, never heard of it, learn something everyday.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted April 29, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 29, 2009 I got the cough adn on Omeprazole but found out it was due to Lisonopril. After the Lisinopril was changed the cough went away is a few months. I still take Omeprazole. There are others you can take for Gerd. I was started on Acidoflex and I have no complaints about that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder tagandbag Posted April 29, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yes Pete, I was taking lisinoprol for about a year. I wasn't sure what was going on when last year I caught some kind of bug twice and they were doozies and had trouble geting rid of the dry/hacking cough. Then I saw apost on hadit about this and told my doctor, that I think the linisoprol is giving me a bad reaction. She changed the script and the dry cough is no more. Thank God.
