Omeprazole
Omeprazole belongs to the family of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPI), that slow or prevent the production of acid within the stomach.
It is used for instance to heal gastric and duodenal ulcers. In addition, it is widely used to prevent and treat ulcers, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease associated with medications known as NSAIDs. The most prominent members in this group of drugs are aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, which are all available over the counter in most countries.
Treatment
The results of Laméris’ research can help to develop new treatments for patients with impaired magnesium metabolism caused by omeprazole. Currently, researchers of the Radboud University are testing a group of patients on a dietary supplement.
Magnesium Health Institute comments: Many other medicines cause magnesium deficiency.
