Heartburn pill could shield seniors from dangerous bleeding while on blood thinners

NCT ID NCT06393868

Summary

This study is testing if a common heartburn medicine called omeprazole can prevent stomach and intestinal bleeding in adults 65 and older who are taking blood thinners for a recent blood clot. It's a pilot study to see if a larger trial is possible. Some participants will get omeprazole and others will get a placebo pill to compare the results fairly.
