Amazon Basic Care Omeprazole is a medication used to treat frequent heartburn that happens two or more days a week. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, helping to relieve heartburn symptoms. For adults 18 years and older, it is taken as one tablet swallowed whole with a glass of water before eating in the morning, once a day for 14 days, and you should not take more than one tablet a day. A key warning is that you should not use it if you are allergic to omeprazole, as it can cause serious skin reactions. If you are considering using it for children under 18, you should consult a doctor first, as heartburn in children may be linked to more serious conditions.
