Prilosec OTC Omeprazole Delayed Release 20mg Acid Reducer

With one Prilosec OTC pill taken each morning, it is possible to block heartburn for a full 24 hours. Heartburn occurs when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. Prilosec OTC's delayed-release formula helps it pass through the harsh stomach acid, preventing excess acid production and blocking frequent heartburn.

Unlike some other heartburn relief treatments that only neutralize the stomach acid after it has already been produced, providing shorter relief (less than 24 hours), Prilosec OTC is the #1 Doctor and Gastroenterologist recommended frequent heartburn medicine for over 15 years.† Prilosec OTC's active ingredient, 20 mg of delayed released omeprazole, works to fight heartburn differently from treatments like acid controllers/H2s or antacids.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and PPIs are a powerful class of frequent heartburn medicines. PPIs block heartburn by preventing excess acid production, something that antacids just can't do. With 1 Prilosec OTC pill each morning, it is possible to block heartburn for 24 hours,* unlike antacids which last only 1-3 hours.

Omeprazole blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours after taking one pill each morning.* Zero heartburn is possible with Prilosec OTC. However, it is not for immediate relief. One should take one pill per day as directed to treat frequent heartburn, and it may take 1 to 4 days for the full effect. This is in contrast to how antacids work for heartburn.

Users should use all heartburn medications as directed. They should not take Prilosec OTC for more than 14 days or more often than every 4 months unless directed by a doctor, as it is not for immediate relief. Prilosec OTC is an acid reducer that provides long-lasting, heartburn relief* and is FSA and HSA eligible.

In summary, with 1 PRILOSEC OTC PILL EACH MORNING, it is possible to achieve ZERO HEARTBURN for 24 HOURS. Unlike antacids which last only 1-3 hours, Prilosec OTC PREVENTS EXCESS ACID PRODUCTION for heartburn relief that lasts for 24 HOURS. Prilosec OTC starts working on DAY 1* and contains the active ingredient OMEPRAZOLE delayed-release 20mg. Prilosec OTC has been the #1 DOCTOR and GASTROENTEROLOGIST RECOMMENDED frequent heartburn medicine for over 15 years.†
