Basic Care Omeprazole is a medication used to treat frequent heartburn that occurs two or more days a week. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, helping to relieve heartburn symptoms over time. 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; you should not take more than one tablet a day or use it for more than 14 days unless directed by your doctor. It's important to note that if you are allergic to omeprazole, you should not use this medication, as it may cause severe skin reactions. If you are taking certain medications, like clopidogrel, you should consult your doctor before using this medication, as it may interact with them.
