Product highlights

Omeprazole 20 mg delayed-release tablets for frequent heartburn occurring two or more days a week.

Ingredients & product details

Each tablet provides omeprazole 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid.

Package: Prilosec OTC Omeprazole 20 mg, 42 Tablets

Uses

For a 14-day course of frequent-heartburn treatment. Full effect may take one to four days. It is not an immediate-relief antacid.

How to use

Adults ages 18 and older: take one tablet with a glass of water before eating in the morning for 14 consecutive days. Swallow whole; do not chew or crush. Do not exceed one tablet daily. Repeat a course no more often than every four months unless directed by a doctor. People under 18 should ask a doctor.

Important safety information

Do not use if you have difficulty or pain swallowing, vomiting blood, or black or bloody stools. Seek prompt medical help for chest pain with sweating, dizziness, shortness of breath or pain spreading to the arms, neck or shoulders. Ask a doctor about long-standing heartburn, unexplained weight loss or ongoing stomach pain, and ask a doctor or pharmacist about prescription drug interactions.

Common question

Is the Wildberry tablet a chewable?

No. Flavor does not remove the delayed-release swallowing requirement. Larger packs do not authorize a longer continuous course. Consult a doctor if heartburn persists, worsens or returns before another course is allowed.

Storage & label

Protect from moisture and store as directed on the carton. Keep away from children; ask a health professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
