What Is Omeprazole Used For?
Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that work by reducing stomach acid production. It's commonly prescribed for heartburn, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and stomach ulcers. The medication blocks the enzyme system responsible for acid production, providing relief from burning sensations and digestive discomfort.
Available Treatment Options at EverydayMeds
We stock several acid reflux treatments to suit different needs. Our omeprazole 20mg capsules are the most commonly prescribed option, whilst Losec MUPS 20mg tablets offer a branded alternative. For patients who may not respond well to omeprazole, we also provide lansoprazole 15mg capsules, pantoprazole 20mg tablets, and esomeprazole tablets. Famotidine tablets are available as an H2 blocker alternative for those unsuitable for PPIs.
Starting Your Treatment Journey
Most patients begin with omeprazole 20mg once daily, typically taken in the morning before food. Our prescribers will determine the most appropriate starting dose based on your symptoms and medical history. Treatment duration varies depending on the condition being treated - some patients need short-term relief for occasional heartburn, whilst others require longer-term management for chronic GORD.
Online Consultation Process
Our consultation covers your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and lifestyle factors that may affect your treatment. This ensures omeprazole is safe and appropriate for you. The process is completely confidential, and our prescribers are available to answer any questions about your treatment plan.
