You may not be able to take omeprazole, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring. • Omeprazole is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether omeprazole will harm an unborn baby. Do not take omeprazole without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. • It is not known whether omeprazole passes into breast milk. Do not take omeprazole without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. ***************************************************** - Proud mommy of Gilbert Cory Valdez (01-10-99) Visit us: http://members.home.net/gtvaldez/ Imagination Station Registered Family Home Childcare ***************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
