My Mum is back on the MTX - she had been on it a few years ago but it did nothing for her RA and was put on other things. She had bad reactions to it - extreme nausea and was bed ridden for a few days after taking it.
She never took any acid blockers but since I found out about them she asked for them too. On Thursday night I heard a loud thud and expexted it to be my dog - it was my Mum who had fallen out of bed. I turned her light on and she was so pale - she had grey lips and hands, was very disorientated, a pounding headache and nausea. Scared the life outta me.
I told my mum about this thread and that MTX and Omeprazole interact so she went to see her doctor. She told the doctor and she said she wished they were kept up to date with these things - I said to my mum well the info is out there - all she has to do is to look. Even my pharmacist had warned me about possile interactions months ago.
Needless to say I'm not impressed. Doctor told my mum to stop the Omeprazole.
Thanks guys for posting this info!
