Prilosec OTC

Prilosec OTC is an over-the-counter medication that treats frequent heartburn (occurring two or more days a week). With one pill a day, it provides 24-hour relief by reducing excess stomach acid.

Prilosec OTC (omeprazole 20 mg as omeprazole magnesium 20.6 mg) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use. It is designed for adults who suffer from frequent heartburn, defined as heartburn occurring two or more days per week. Unlike antacids or H2 blockers, Prilosec OTC works by blocking acid production at the source, offering long-lasting relief with a single daily dose taken before breakfast.

Key features include:

24-hour heartburn relief with one pill a day.
Available in 14, 28, and 42-count packages, each representing a 14-day treatment course.
Delayed-release tablets that prevent excess acid production.
Clinically proven to relieve symptoms starting from the first day, with full effect typically within 1–4 days.
#1 doctor and gastroenterologist recommended OTC heartburn medicine for over 15 years.
Prilosec OTC is not intended for immediate relief and should not be used for more than 14 consecutive days or more often than every 4 months, unless directed by a doctor. It is also available in a Wildberry flavor variant for easier swallowing.
