After the article about the fact that omeprazole is not to blame for stomach cancer, a flurry of indignant references to the instructions for omeprazole fell upon me. Like it says that he is still to blame. And there really is something said.
They write there that before the appointment of omeprazole, it is necessary to exclude the presence of a malignant process. Especially with stomach ulcers. Because omeprazole can mask the manifestations of cancer and delay the correct diagnosis.
Like, when in any pharmacy on every corner they sell someone an over-the-counter omeprazole, then this poor fellow needs to do a gastroscopy with a biopsy just in case to look for cancer. So?
Or they also told me that omeprazole would disguise cancer in such a way that it would really hide its head in the folds of the stomach and then you wouldn't even find it with a microscope. Fearfully?
This, of course, is stupidity. Any idiot can buy omeprazole, and therefore he is not advised to take this omeprazole for a long time. If an idiot has cancer, then this cancer will then manifest itself, and someone will make the correct diagnosis.
It is clear that no one will go into the stomach of people with an endoscope for every discomfort or heartburn, because this can lead to death. Haven't you heard of that? But read my article about the harm of FGS.
They just don't allow omeprazole to everyone. Young people can, but older people will go through the FGS.
It seems to me, brothers, that this antediluvian instruction contains an error in the translation of the corresponding instruction from English. It says that relief of symptoms does not preclude the presence of a gastric malignancy. In our opinion, this means that if a freak is relieved by omeprazole, it will not help him to exclude cancer. That is, in cancer, omeprazole sometimes also helps with pain.
It seems that the word "exclude" confused our pharmacists and their translators. They decided that it SHOULD be ruled out. But the Americans say that it WILL NOT work to exclude. Do you feel the difference?
In short, again the difficulties of translation.
Do not drink omeprazole for more than a week. If after a week the pain returns, then go to the doctor. That's all there is to it.
