About Omeprazole
Facts, myths, and online claimsOmeprazole (Prilosec) is a proton pump inhibitor that lowers the amount of acid the stomach makes. It is used for heartburn and reflux (GERD), stomach and duodenal ulcers, erosive esophagitis, Helicobacter pylori eradication (with antibiotics), and rare acid-overproduction conditions. It is usually taken once a day before a meal, as a delayed-release capsule or tablet. A lower-strength version is sold without a prescription for frequent heartburn as a 14-day course.
