Members Mark Omeprazole is a medication used to treat frequent heartburn, which happens two or more days a week. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, helping to relieve heartburn symptoms over time. Adults aged 18 and older should take one tablet each morning before eating, for 14 days, and should not take more than one tablet a day. It's important to know that if you have trouble swallowing, vomiting blood, or chest pain, you should not use this medication and see a doctor instead. Additionally, if you're taking certain prescription drugs, like acid reducers, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to avoid any interactions.
