            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity drugs or components of the formulation

            Patients receiving rilpivirine containing products

            Cautions

            Atrophic gastritis reported with long term use

            Acute interstitial nephritis may occur at any point during PPI therapy and is generally attributed to an idiopathic hypersensitivity reaction; discontinue treatment if acute interstitial nephritis develops

            PPIs are possibly associated with increased incidence of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD); consider diagnosis of CDAD for patients taking PPIs who have diarrhea that does not improve; patients should use lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to condition being treated

            Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) reported with PPIs; avoid using for longer than medically indicated; discontinue if signs or symptoms consistent with CLE or SLE are observed and refer patient to specialist; most patients improve with discontinuation of PPI alone in 4-12 weeks; serological testing (eg, ANA) may be positive and elevated serological test results may take longer to resolve than clinical manifestations

            May require dosage reduction with liver disease

            Bioavailability may be increased in the elderly

            Shown to cause gastric carcinoid tumors in rats with increased doses, but risk in humans unconfirmed

            Published observational studies suggest that PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine, particularly with prolonged (>1 year), high-dose therapy; patients at risk for osteoporosis-related fractures should be managed according to established treatment guidelines

            Gastric atrophy reported with long-term use

            Relief of symptoms does not eliminate the possibility of a gastric malignancy; consider additional follow-up and diagnostic testing in adult patients who have a suboptimal response or an early symptomatic relapse after completing treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI); in older patients, also consider an endoscopy

            Therapy increases risk of salmonella, campylobacter and other infections

            PPI therapy is associated with increased risk of fundic gland polyp; risk increases with long-term use >1 year; patient may be asymptomatic; problem usually identified incidentally on endoscopy; use shortest duration of therapy appropriate to condition being treated

            Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) reported in patients taking PPIs; may occur at any point during PPI therapy; patients may present with varying signs and symptoms from symptomatic hypersensitivity reactions to non-specific symptoms of decreased renal function (eg, malaise, nausea, anorexia); in reported case series, some patients were diagnosed on biopsy and in absence of extra-renal manifestations (eg, fever, rash or arthralgia); discontinue therapy and evaluate patients with suspected acute TIN

            Cutaneous adverse reactions

            • Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) reported
            • Discontinue therapy at first signs or symptoms of severe cutaneous adverse reactions or other signs of hypersensitivity and consider further evaluation

            Hypomagnesemia and mineral metabolism

            • Hypomagnesemia may occur with prolonged use (>1 year); adverse effects may result and include tetany, arrhythmias, and seizures; in 25% of cases reviewed, magnesium supplementation alone did not improve low serum magnesium levels and the PPI had to be discontinued; consider monitoring magnesium levels prior to initiation of PPI treatment and periodically
            • Hypomagnesemia may lead to hypocalcemia and/or hypokalemia and may exacerbate underlying hypocalcemia in at-risk patients; in most patients, treatment of hypomagnesemia required magnesium replacement and discontinuation of the PPI
            • Consider monitoring magnesium and calcium levels prior to initiation of therapy and periodically while on treatment in patients with a preexisting risk of hypocalcemia (eg, hypoparathyroidism); supplement with magnesium and/or calcium, as necessary; if hypocalcemia is refractory to treatment, consider discontinuing therapy

            Sodium bicarbonate content

            • Contains sodium bicarbonate; avoid use in patients with Bartter syndrome, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, or problems with acid-base balance
            • Sodium content should be taken into consideration when administering to patients on a sodium-restricted diet or those at risk for developing congestive heart failure
            • Chronic bicarbonate administration with calcium or milk can cause milk-alkali syndrome
            • Chronic use of sodium bicarbonate may lead to systemic alkalosis, and increased sodium intake can produce edema and weight gain

            Over-the-counter use

            • Avoid otc use and see healthcare professional if experiencing trouble or pain swallowing food, vomiting with blood, bloody or black stools, heartburn with lightheadedness, sweating or dizziness, chest pain or shoulder pain with shortness of breath; sweating; pain spreading to arms, neck or shoulders; or lightheadedness, frequent chest pain; these may be signs of a serious condition; see healthcare professional

            Drug interaction overview

            • May elevate and/or prolong serum concentrations of methotrexate and/or its metabolite when administered concomitantly with PPIs, possibly leading to toxicity; consider a temporary withdrawal of PPI therapy with high dose methotrexate administration
            • Decreased gastric acidity increases serum chromogranin A (CgA) levels and may cause false-positive diagnostic results for neuroendocrine tumors; temporarily discontinue PPIs before assessing CgA levels; consider additional follow-up and diagnostic testing in patients who have suboptimal response or early symptomatic relapse after completing treatment with a PPI
            • Omeprazole can reduce the absorption of other drugs due to its effect on reducing intragastric acidity
            • Proton pump inhibitors may decrease the efficacy of clopidogrel by reducing the formation of the active metabolite
            • Inhibits hepatic isoenzyme CYP2C19 and may alter metabolism of drugs that are CYP2C19 substrates; drugs which induce CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 (such as St. John’s wort or rifampin) can substantially decrease omeprazole concentrations; avoid concomitant use of this drug with St. John’s wort or rifampin
            • Potential for increased exposure of tacrolimus, especially in transplant patients who are intermediate or poor metabolizers of CYP2C19
            • Daily treatment with any acid-suppressing medications over a long period of time (eg, longer than 3 years) may lead to malabsorption of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B-12) caused by hypo- or achlorhydria; rare reports of cyanocobalamin deficiency occurring with acid-suppressing therapy reported; this diagnosis should be considered if clinical symptoms consistent with cyanocobalamin deficiency are observed in patients receiving therapy
            • Antiretrovirals
              • Effect of PPIs on antiretroviral drugs varies
              • Decreased exposure of some antiretroviral drugs (eg, rilpivirine, atazanavir and nelfinavir), when used concomitantly with omeprazole, may reduce antiviral effect and promote the development of drug-resistant
              • Increased exposure of other antiretroviral drugs (eg, saquinavir), when used concomitantly with omeprazole, may increase toxicity
              • Rilpivirine-containing products: Coadministration is contraindicated
              • Atazanavir or nelfinavir: Avoid concomitant use; see prescribing information for atazanavir or nelfinavir for dosing information
              • Saquinavir: See prescribing information for saquinavir for monitoring of potential saquinavir-related toxicities

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women

            Omeprazole

            • There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with omeprazole in pregnant women
            • Available epidemiologic data fail to demonstrate an increased risk of major congenital malformations or other adverse pregnancy outcomes with first trimester omeprazole use

            Sodium bicarbonate

            • Available data with use in pregnant women are insufficient to identify a drug associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage
            • Published animal studies report that sodium bicarbonate administered to rats, mice or rabbits during pregnancy did not cause adverse developmental effects in offspring

            Lactation

            Available data from the published literature suggest both components, omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate, are present in human milk

            There are no clinical data on the effects of omeprazole or sodium bicarbonate on the breastfed infant or on milk production

            Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother's clinical need and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from treatment or from the underlying maternal condition

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
