Taking these two medicines together is generally safe and often beneficial. Omeprazole can actually help protect your stomach from the irritation or ulcers that aspirin sometimes causes. However, omeprazole might slightly change how quickly or how well your body absorbs certain types of aspirin (like enteric-coated tablets).

Varför detta händer
Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid in your stomach. Some aspirin tablets have a special coating (enteric coating) designed to dissolve only when they reach the gut. By making the stomach less acidic, omeprazole might cause this coating to break down too early in the stomach, or it may slightly alter how the aspirin is absorbed into the bloodstream. Despite this, the overall effect of the aspirin is usually not changed enough to be a concern.
Vad du bör göra
Tillbaka till innehållYou can take these medicines together. In fact, doctors often prescribe them together specifically to protect the stomach lining if you need to take aspirin long-term. If you are taking aspirin to prevent heart problems or strokes, continue to take it as prescribed. If you notice any unusual stomach pain or indigestion, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor.

Viktiga försiktighetsåtgärder
Tillbaka till innehållAstma
Do not take aspirin if you have a history of asthma triggered by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction or asthma attack.
Pregnancy (third trimester)
Do not take aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless specifically prescribed by a specialist, as it can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and increase the risk of bleeding during delivery.
Severe diarrhoea
Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe or persistent watery diarrhoea; omeprazole can increase your risk of a serious bowel infection caused by Clostridium difficile.

Can I take Sertraline and Fluoxetine together?
Taking sertraline and fluoxetine together significantly increases the risk of a rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome. This happens because both medicines work by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. If levels get too high, it can cause symptoms like shivering, diarrhoea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, and even seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can slow down how your body breaks down sertraline, leading to a build-up of the drug in your system and increasing the risk of side effects.
