Cyclosporine FAQ

What does this definition mean?

Drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 (e.g., diazepam, warfarin, phenytoin, cyclosporine, disulfiram, benzodiazepines): Omeprazole can prolong their elimination. Monitor to determine need for possible dose adjustments when taken with Omeprazole. I'm feeling a little anxious and need to take a xanax but scared too. The xanax is the lowest dose. I can't call a pharmicist or my doctor because it's late at night.

Drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 (e.g., diazepam, warfarin, phenytoin, cyclosporine, disulfiram, benzodiazepines): Omeprazole can prolong their elimination. Monitor to determine need for possible dose adjustments when taken with Omeprazole (7) ?????????? Anyways I do have anxiety and am wondering if it would be okay to take a xanax. I usually take half of a peach one so I think the dosage is .25 or .2.5???? I have to take prilosec for H.Pylori. I am done with the antibiotic (thank goodness...I took my last antibiotic at 3p.m. today.) I have to take prilosec for 2 more weeks. I don't really want too.. I still feel like crap..not from the ulcer but it seems like from the meds. I still have a nasty taste in my mouth and my tummy is queasy. I haven't been sleeping either. So my body is stressed. How long does the prilosec stay in your body? The clarithromycin(sp)? Since I'm trying to eradicate H.pylori is there something else I could take instead of prilosec...something easier on the tummy? I hate taking drugs that seem by the side effects it could hurt you more than help you Thanx for any advice
