Taking Omeprazole in pregnancy should only be done under medical advice as there are no scientific studies to show that this medicine does not harm the baby. This medicine should only be used when the benefits to the mother are greater than the risks to the baby.
Therefore, those suffering from heartburn, burning or gastritis during pregnancy should be careful to eat properly and invest in natural and home remedies to relieve this type of discomfort, since during pregnancy all remedies should only be used if they are really needed.
