Is it safe to take Omezole and Dhacopan together?

Omezole, otherwise known as omeprazole, belongs to a class of medications known as Proton Pump Inhibitors. As the name implies, it inhibits the proton or acid pump, thereby reducing the gastric acid production and hopefully any pain related to acid overproduction.

Dhacopan, on the other hand, is a medicine for cramps and spasms. The other more common names are buscopan or hyoscine, which is essentially the same drug. This is a medicine given to treat cramps and spasms from diarrhoea and IBS.

There 2 medicine are prescribed together from time to time for conditions suspected to be related to both gastric acid overproduction as well as spasms. As far as I am aware of, there is no significant undesirable interaction when they are consumed together. Should you develop any unexpected side effect with these medicines, you should consult the prescribing physician for more information.

Thank you for your question. There can be many reasons why someone would experience excessive daytime sleepiness. As the potential causes are varied and have been well-covered by both Dr Tze Yong and Dr Ethan, I shall not be repetitious. One of the most common cause of excessive daytime sleepiness (if you do not have poor sleep habit, sleep deprivation, insomnia and medical problems or are on medications that disrupt sleep) is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea or OSA.

Can perlane fillers be seen on a CT scan?

Fret not, the radiologist and radiographer would have seen many such cases, so do not expect them to be surprised at the findings. In fact, you can let the doctor know this, so that the radiologist doesn’t mistake it as other structures in his interpretation of the scan.
