I accidentally took Telma 40 mg instead of my usual omeprazole. What should I expect in terms of side effects? I'm a bit worried about any potential reactions.

In place of omeprazole, taking telma 40 mg can lead to potential side effects such as dizziness, headache, cough, diarrhea, and back pain. It is important to monitor for any signs of adverse reactions and consult your healthcare provider if any concerns arise. Keep monitoring your blood pressure, and rush to the hospital if it falls below 9060 mmhg.

I'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?
