Prlosec & HepC

[MarHope]

Anyone with HepC taking 20 mg. of Prilosec? My dr. said ok to take, but I'd feel better if anyone else is/has used it. Either a prescription or OTC.

Thanks much

I meant to send this last post to you about Prilosec.

I was told do NOT take Prilosec With the new NS5A and NS5B drugs.  it's been proven it has an adverse effect. I'm on the Sofosbuvir/5885 and Prilosec is on the Do Not take list.  I usually take Zantac and asked if this was ok, and was told during my treatment Zantac was OK.  I didn't question the difference but said OK no Prilosec. Anyone on the new Sofosbuvir told this same thing?

I've had to take Prilosec on and off (mostly on) for years, before, during and after treatment too. My hepatologist is fine with me taking it. I've had Hepatitis C for decades and have had cirrhosis for the last nine years.

No problem, I took them before and after they became OTC though out treatment, my hepo was the one who suggested it... Best to you

I used Prilosec before treating my hepC and also while on treatment(Incivek/ribavirin/interferon) without any problem. I asked the same question here about 6 months ago.
