What Does Omeprazole Do for Acid Reflux?
How Omeprazole Works to Reduce Stomach Acid
Omeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking the enzyme system in your stomach responsible for acid production, which can reduce stomach acid by up to 90%. This makes omeprazole highly effective for treating heartburn, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and related conditions.
Accessing Omeprazole Through EverydayMeds
Our online consultation process makes getting acid reflux treatment straightforward and affordable. Simply complete our medical questionnaire, which takes just a few minutes. Our registered pharmacists will review your responses and, if appropriate, can prescribe omeprazole 20mg capsules or alternative treatments like Losec MUPS, lansoprazole, or pantoprazole.
Treatment Options Available
EverydayMeds stocks a comprehensive range of acid reflux medications to suit different needs and budgets. Omeprazole 20mg capsules remain our most popular choice due to their proven effectiveness and competitive pricing. For those preferring branded options, we offer Losec MUPS 20mg tablets. Alternative PPIs include lansoprazole 15mg capsules and pantoprazole 20mg tablets, whilst famotidine provides an H2-blocker option for patients who cannot take PPIs.
Dosage and Duration
The standard dose for acid reflux is omeprazole 20mg once daily, typically taken before breakfast. Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 days, though full healing may take 4-8 weeks. Our pharmacists will provide personalised dosing guidance based on your consultation responses and medical history.
