I have been taking Omeprazole for about 15 yrs now and in the last 2 yrs I have beebn collecting from the chemist different makes of the drug...The usual ones are pink/white capsules and now there seems to be another brand that are a bright vivid yellow capsule....The latter have given me side effects of dizziness,sleeplessness,visual problems and anxiety......they were made by SANDOX and the pink/white are made by

MYLAN..Has anyone had this experience...I have stopped taking Omeprezole and the side effects have ceased...Any advice would be appreciated......frown.

    I just started taking it last week and my pills are purple and white capsules-  very small - can I ask you- did it help your indigestion? I haven't really seen a difference yet.

    Hi there...Yes it is brilliant for acid reflux and indigestion but only the ones made by MYLAN (pink/white caps)....I always thought tabs made under the same name must be indentical...the only thing I can think of is the carrier ie thecapsule itself must be of a substance that just does not agree with me....I'm going to the doctors to get to the bottom of it after the New Year...Will post anymore info....Happy New Year to you all...biggrin
