Prilosec OTC Omeprazole Delayed-Release Tablets provide effective and long-lasting relief from frequent heartburn. Each tablet contains 20 mg of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach. The delayed-release formula ensures that the medication is released in the small intestine, maximizing its effectiveness. This package contains 30 tablets, offering a month's supply for managing recurring heartburn symptoms. Prilosec OTC is designed for those who experience heartburn two or more times a week.
Heartburn can be triggered by a variety of factors, including dietary choices. Many delicious dishes from diverse culinary traditions can sometimes contribute to discomfort. From spicy Caribbean jerk chicken and flavorful Latin stews to rich Asian curries and hearty African tagines, certain ingredients and cooking methods can increase stomach acid production. Prilosec OTC allows you to enjoy these culinary experiences without the constant worry of heartburn. Remember to identify your personal trigger foods and consume them in moderation. A cup of ginger tea after a meal can also help soothe the stomach.
To use, take one tablet daily, preferably before a meal. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet. It may take 1-4 days for full effect. Do not take for more than 14 days unless directed by a doctor. Allow 4 months before taking another 14-day course. Store at 68-77°F (20-25°C). Protect from moisture. This product is not intended for immediate relief of occasional heartburn. Always read the label and follow the directions carefully. If your heartburn persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
