Is it safe for me to take omeprazole prescribed for my pet?

Yes it is correct, slightly higher than the recommended one but it is absolutely fine. I would not be worried at all about it. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

It is always best to discuss all medications your pet is taking with your veterinarian who knows your pet's history and medical conditions. There are no known negative drug interactions between apoquel and omeprazole.

I'm wondering if you mean omeprazole, as there is no drug that I am aware of called amorazole. Omeprazole is a prescription only medication for dogs, and you would need a prescription from a vet in order to get it, even when ordering it online. While there are online pet pharmacies, prescription meds require the vet sending in a prescription before sending it to you. I would speak to your vet about any medications Tilly may need, and they will prescribe them if necessary and appropriate. Unfortunately, it is illegal for the experts to prescribe any medications to our users. I hope this helps!

I can understand you wanting to check on this. This medication is dosed out at 0.5-1mg/kg rounded to the nearest 10mg. So this dose is appropriate for your pet and isn't too much. Tucker should be fine with this. Let your vet know if Tucker has any issues with the medicaiton prescribed or if his symptoms persist. Best wishes and take care.

While I think it is more common to prescribe omeprazole for once daily use there are reports of using it twice daily. If Lily has been on omeprazole once daily in the past it would be a good idea to check in with your vet to be sure that's the dose they intended.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is OK to break up the 20mg tablet and give Jack the 5mg. Omeprazole is a very safe drug - it's like Prilosec in people - so this is safe :) I hope this is helpful!

Hello. No, it is not. Omeprazole is commonly known as Prilosec, & it is used to decrease stomach acid production, & is useful for GI ulceration & bleeding. This would certainly make someone feel better, but it is not actual pain medication. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
