Is Appetite Loss A Side Effect Of Omeprazole?

Hi, due to acidic discomfort my doctor prescribed omeprazole. I took one last night and one this morning, and since then I have no appetite to eat. I tried to eat dry food like crackers but I m struggling to eat even that. Can loss of appetite be a result of the medication or might it be something else?

Hi,

Antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole does not show appetite loss as a side effect, it may be due to something else and has to be evaluated if persist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
