What is Acid Reflux
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Many people experience acid reflux from time to time. Acid reflux happens to nearly everyone at some point in their life.
Having acid reflux and heartburn now and then is totally normal but if you have acid reflux (heartburn) more than twice a week, you may need daily medications to manage your condition.
How it works
FAQ
What is Omeprazole?
Omeprazole belongs to a group of drugs called proton-pump inhibitors, which work by reducing the amount of acid made in the stomach. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing and persistent cough. When taken on a daily basis, acid reflux symptoms are greatly reduced without the need to time doses which is true with antacids and most over the counter treatments.
How does Omeprazole work?
Omeprazole takes about 1 hour to block the production of stomach acid and its maximal effect occurs around 2 hours after beginning therapy. The action of this acid reflux treatment can continue for about 3 days. Omeprazole must continue to be taken on a daily basis for the stomach acid to remain low. If Omeprazole is only taken on an “as needed” basis, you will most likely experience breakthrough acid reflux.
