Omeprazole can be taken by children and babies, but only if it’s been prescribed for them by a doctor.
Children shouldn’t take the adult dosage of omeprazole, but your doctor will be able to give them a suitable dosage and help you to decide whether omeprazole tablets or omeprazole liquid will be better for your child.
If you’re concerned that your child may have indigestion or acid reflux, speak to your doctor, they’ll be able to prescribe omeprazole if they think it’s the right treatment for your child.
