Weight loss?

Could my weight loss, nausea, and loss of appetite be a direct result of 2 prescriptions that I take? I take tamsulosin and lansoprazole. I started tamsulosin about a year ago. I've taken lansoprazole for many years. I also take fiber and vitamins every day.

Yes this could be caused by lansoprazole and you should contact the prescribing physician since this medicine may be causing side effects and other alternatives are available. You may need panendoscopy to identify the cause of weightloss.
