MedDataToolCareone 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 discomfort. Adults 18 years and older should take one tablet each morning before eating, and this should be done every day for 14 days; do not take more than one tablet a day or use it for more than 14 days unless your doctor advises otherwise. It's important to know that you should not use this medication if you are allergic to omeprazole, as it can cause severe skin reactions. Additionally, if you are taking prescription drugs, especially acid reducers, check with your doctor or pharmacist to avoid any interactions.
