Patient's question:
My sister is 32 years old this year. She used to have the problem of gastric ulcer, but later she started taking Omeprazole. Now she hasn't used the toilet for several days. Can Omeprazole cause constipation?Doctor's answer:
This is also a possible side effect of this medication. It is recommended to pay close attention to increasing medication use, regulate diet, and consume more spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink more water, pay attention to physical exercise, and enhance physical fitness. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables while taking medication, drink a glass of water before bed, and drink another glass of water after going to bed to cleanse the intestines. You can go to local regular tertiary-level hospitals or hospitals with tertiary-level or higher for examination and treatment.
