Is taking Prilosec for symptoms of pancreatitis recommended?


How Prilosec works:
* Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. How do you know that I have gastric acid overproduction & that is the cause of all of these problems?

Possible Side Effects:
* Headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, trouble awakening and sleep deprivation.
* Osteoporosis related fractures
* Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
* The risk of community-acquired pneumonia may also be higher in people taking PPIs
* “Since their introduction, proton pump inhibitors (especially omeprazole) have been associated with several cases of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, an inflammation of the kidneys that often occurs as an adverse drug reaction”.

Scarely. Do you supposed to take this in the middle of major multi system problems? The doctor took PT off 3 very good cardiac meds. Now he is suggesting Prilosec. Does this make sense? No evidence of ulcer.

Will Prilosec likely cause more problems or solve pancretitis like system-wide injuries? Are American doctors/lawyers trying to kill people?
