What is Prilosec?

Prilosec (omeprazole) is a brand-name prescription and over-the-counter drug that treats gastric or duodenal ulcers, which are sores that form in the stomach (gastric ulcers) or at the place where the small intestine connects to the stomach (the duodenum). Prilosec is also used to relieve gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD).

Gastic and duodenal ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection that changes the mucus that protects the stomach and duodenum linings from stomach acid. Without this protection, stomach acid irritates and damages the stomach and intestinal tissues. For ulcers, Prilosec is frequently prescribed with antibiotics (clarithromycin, amoxicillin) to control the underlying bacterial infection.

GERD is a condition in which stomach acid washes back into the esophagus, causing pain, burning, and discomfort.

Omeprazole is an “acid reducer” belonging to a class of drugs called proton-pump inhibitors. It blocks the production of acid by the stomach, and so reduces stomach acid.

Prilosec is taken as a capsule or oral suspension. Ulcers will typically take four to eight weeks to heal. GERD symptoms should subside in four weeks.
