Prilosec
Question: I am taking Prilosec 20 mg for three years now and have been told that I may have to take them for many years to come. I also recently developed anemic problems. Could this be a possible result of long-term Prilosec use?
Answer: Probably not. Try using big doses of H2 blockers for 6-8 weeks and see if your blood count or reticulocyte count rises. If it does, the prilosec may be the culprit.
