My 4 year old DS has just been diagnosed with severe grade 3 Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Among his medications he has been given Omeprazole which completely blocks acid production in the stomach.
However - this medicine is a tablet which I'm supposed to dissolve in water - I tried his 1st one this morning and it DID NOT go down to well at all!! He took the other 2 medicines fine - but this was all 'bitty' and not nice.
My question is - do you know if these 'dissolvable' tablets can be taken as a pill with water? I feel he would be much happier just swallowing the tablet whole with water?
Anyone know anything about this???
