I have been taking Omeprazole 20 mg for over 2 years. Is it possible that it affects my ferritin level, because for the last year my level has been dropping?

Hello, thank you for your question. It is possible that the PPI you are taking is affecting your nutrient absorption. We can discuss options to wean off the PPI, such as developing a plan to wean off without replacing it with anything, or replacing it with a slightly less effective stomach medication, such as anti-H2. I recommend speaking with a pharmacist to determine what is best for you.
