Our registered pharmacists will review your medical history and current symptoms to ensure omeprazole remains the appropriate treatment for your acid reflux condition.
What Is Omeprazole Used For?
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production by blocking the enzyme system responsible for acid creation. This medication is commonly prescribed for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), heartburn, stomach ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. Many patients find omeprazole effective for managing persistent acid reflux symptoms that don't respond adequately to lifestyle changes alone.
Available Omeprazole Treatments
EverydayMeds stocks several omeprazole formulations to suit different patient needs. Our most popular option is Omeprazole 20mg capsules, which provides the standard dose for most acid reflux conditions. We also offer Losec MUPS 20mg tablets, the branded version of omeprazole, which dissolves quickly and may be easier to swallow for some patients.
Alternative PPI Options
If omeprazole isn't suitable for your needs, our pharmacy stocks alternative PPI treatments. Lansoprazole 15mg capsules offer a lower-dose option that may be appropriate for maintenance therapy. Pantoprazole 20mg tablets provide an alternative PPI that some patients tolerate better than omeprazole. For those requiring different mechanisms of action, we also stock Famotidine tablets, which work as H2 receptor antagonists rather than proton pump inhibitors.
Dosage and Treatment Duration
The typical omeprazole dose for acid reflux is 20mg once daily, usually taken in the morning before food. Treatment duration varies depending on the condition being treated. Heartburn symptoms may improve within 2-4 weeks, whilst GORD treatment typically requires 4-8 weeks for optimal healing. Some patients may need long-term maintenance therapy under medical supervision.
