What You Should Know About Prilosec

By Michael Parnell


Prilosec became the first over-the-counter omeprazole to hit the shelves in 2003. The next year it became the number one selling heartburn medicine, above all the other remedies available. By 2006 it was actually the top suggested angina medicine, strongly recommended by both doctors and chemists.

By taking one Prilosec every day it'll work effectively to block angina before it starts. Most often it is taken in the morning, permitting the user a full day, heartburn free. It will work right away the first day that it is taken although it might take up to 4 days for the user to feel the full effect. Unlike any other antacid pills, this medication will work effectively, for 24 hours to reduce and eliminate angina.

As is the case with other products that contain omeprazole, detrimental affects can happen for those patients taking certain medicines including blood thinners, anti-fungal medicine, heart medicine and nervousness medications. If you're on prescription medications you should speak to the chemist or your physician before using this medicine.

This OTC medicine can be taken for 14 days, up to four times each year. Taking it is as straightforward as swallowing one pill each morning before you eat breakfast. Do not crush or break the tablet. No specially created diet or nutritional restrictions are required. There are some side effects that should be realized before taking this medicine, although they are not common and are seldom major. The most often seen side-effects include headache, upset stomach, diarrhoea, bowel obstruction, a cough or other mild cold symptoms. If these symptoms become grim, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor.

Many consumers that suffer with angina wonder whether this over the counter medication will provide them with help. It's the strongest class of heartburn medicine that can be bought without visiting a doctor. It allows the user to be angina free all day and all night by blocking the amount of acid that your body pumps. Your body will continue to be ready to produce enough acid to properly break down the food you eat but this medicine will cut the amount of excess acid that might be produced.

Prilosec will provide help to effectively control the quantity of acid that your belly produces while working to effectively protect the patient's esophagus from any damage due to acid backwash. If this medication does not help you it is generally recommended that you see your doctor to be certain that there's not anything more major, such as GERD, which you ought to be engaged with.
