Prilosec OTC Omeprazole 20mg Delayed-Release Tablets provide proven heartburn relief for those who experience frequent heartburn two or more days a week. This powerful proton pump inhibitor (PPI) works by binding to acid-producing pumps in the stomach and turning them off, effectively blocking acid production at the source for up to 24 hours with just one daily pill.

Each package contains three 14-day courses of treatment, providing a total of 42 tablets. The delayed-release formula ensures the medication reaches the stomach acid pumps where it's needed most. While Prilosec OTC begins working within an hour, it typically takes 1-4 days to achieve full therapeutic effect. For best results, take one tablet daily before the morning meal with water, swallowing whole without crushing or chewing.

Unlike antacids that neutralize existing acid, Prilosec OTC prevents excess acid production, offering stronger and longer-lasting relief. This medication is specifically designed for treating frequent heartburn and is not intended for immediate relief of occasional heartburn symptoms. Do not exceed 14 consecutive days of treatment or use more than one 14-day course every 4 months unless directed by a healthcare provider.
