Omeprazole Availability and Purchase Options
Over-the-Counter Omeprazole Availability
In the UK, omeprazole 10mg capsules are available over the counter for treating frequent heartburn in adults over 18 years. This lower strength formulation can be purchased without prescription for maximum 14 days of treatment. Common brand names include Losec and various pharmacy own-brand versions.
When You Need a Prescription
Omeprazole 20mg and 40mg strengths require a prescription from a healthcare professional. These higher doses are typically prescribed for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), stomach ulcers, or when over-the-counter treatments haven't provided adequate relief. EverydayMeds offers these prescription strengths through our online consultation service.
EverydayMeds Product Range
Our acid reflux treatment options include Omeprazole 20mg Capsules, Losec MUPS 20mg tablets, Lansoprazole 15mg Capsules, and Pantoprazole 20mg Tablets. Each medication works by reducing stomach acid production, helping to relieve symptoms and allow healing of acid-related damage.

Safety Considerations
Over-the-counter omeprazole should not be used for more than 14 days without medical advice. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, or persistent symptoms. Our consultation service helps identify when prescription-strength treatment may be more appropriate for your condition.
