Does anyone also take Omneprazole PPI as well as Prednisolone.
I have recently weaned myself off Omneprazol and all the horrible side effects that I thought were caused by Prednisolone have dissapeared. I had been taking Omneprazol for over ten years and similar PPI's before that. I am wondering what percentage of people take PPI's as well as Pred. ?
