After taking Prilosec for about 4 years my prescription was changed to Omeprazole about 2 months ago (at the request of the insurance carrier, no doubt). About 2 weeks after starting to take it I noticed small bumps along my jawline and severe dryness to my facial skin along with itchiness. After consulting my doctor, she said it was just dry skin and told me to use a certain moisturizer and switch to Dove soap. Now, 3 weeks later, my entire face is broken out with the bumps, my face is red blotches and is extremely dry, flaky and itchy. I will be calling the doctor to be put back on Prilosec. I had none of these problems with it.
