Is it allowed to take Omeprazole during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

High plasma protein binding makes excretion into breast milk to be insignificant. No side effects were observed in breastfed infants of treated mothers. Shown to be labile in acid-pH environment must be administered in the form of micro-granules within an enteric-coated capsule. Any small quantity reaching the infant's stomach would be readily inactivated. Hyperprolactinemia and Galactorrhea have been reported.

Was diagnosed with GERG after an upper GI test. Doctor prescribed Omeprazole 20mg once a day for one year. But did not seem to work as well as he had hoped after another upper GI test. So he prescribed Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day. Seems to have worked better and will soon have another upper GI test to see if things are improving in my esophagus.

I switched from Aciphex to Omeprezole which seems to be a bit weaker but does the job. I need to take it twice a day to effectively stop my cough. I wish that I can cut it down to once a day. But it works.
