You should not continue using Omez Capsule (omeprazole) for ten years without a medical review, as long-term use may cause side effects and increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures due to magnesium loss. Please consult your doctor to assess your symptoms, check for complications, and decide whether to adjust the dose or switch to another treatment.

Consult Your Doctor:
- Discuss the long-term use of omeprazole with your healthcare provider.
- They may evaluate your symptoms and consider tests for complications.
Review Your Treatment:
- Your doctor might adjust your medication or suggest lifestyle changes.
- Explore other treatment options if necessary.
Avoid Self-Adjusting Medication:
- Do not stop or change your dose without medical advice.
Regular follow-up is essential for managing acid reflux safely over time.
