Our streamlined consultation process allows you to access omeprazole 20mg capsules and other acid reflux treatments without visiting your GP.

Available Omeprazole Products
EverydayMeds stocks a comprehensive range of proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux treatment. Our primary omeprazole option is the 20mg capsules, typically prescribed for heartburn, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and stomach ulcers. We also offer branded Losec MUPS 20mg tablets for patients who prefer the original formulation. Alternative PPIs include lansoprazole 15mg capsules, pantoprazole 20mg tablets, and esomeprazole tablets for those who may not respond well to omeprazole.
Repeat Prescription Convenience
Managing ongoing acid reflux requires consistent medication access. EverydayMeds' repeat prescription service ensures you never run out of omeprazole. Once you've completed your initial consultation, reordering is simplified through your online account. Our system sends automatic reminders when your supply is running low, and you can schedule regular deliveries to maintain continuous treatment. This service is particularly beneficial for patients requiring long-term acid reflux management.
How Omeprazole Works for Acid Reflux
Omeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking the enzyme system responsible for acid production in your stomach, reducing the amount of acid produced by up to 90%. This significant reduction helps heal damaged tissue in the oesophagus, prevents further acid damage, and provides relief from symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. The medication typically begins working within 1-2 days, with maximum effect achieved after 4-5 days of regular use.
Dosage and Treatment Duration
Standard omeprazole dosing for acid reflux is 20mg once daily, usually taken in the morning before breakfast. The capsules should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. For mild heartburn symptoms, a 2-week course may be sufficient, whilst GORD typically requires 4-8 weeks of treatment. Some patients may need ongoing maintenance therapy, which our prescribers can assess during follow-up consultations. Always follow the dosage instructions provided with your prescription.
Safety Considerations and Monitoring
Whilst omeprazole is generally well-tolerated, long-term use requires appropriate monitoring. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and stomach pain, which typically resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. Our online consultation process screens for potential drug interactions and contraindications, ensuring omeprazole is safe for your specific situation. Patients taking long-term omeprazole may require periodic blood tests to monitor magnesium and vitamin B12 levels, which we can arrange through your GP.
