Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor or antacid. It is used for the treatment of several conditions of the stomach and oesophagus resulting from too much acid in the stomach. Omeprazole is typically used to treat frequent heartburn and gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and is available under a range of brand names including Losec and Prilosec.
You can buy Omeprazole in 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg capsules from Prescription Doctor's UK regulated pharmacy.
We understand the need for confidentiality when buying Omeprazole online, which is why our pharmacy packages all items in discreet, tamper-proof packaging which gives no indication of the contents or where it came from. Place your order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, and our UK pharmacy will dispense and dispatch your medicine the same day, for a fast next-day delivery.
Heartburn is a primary symptom of GORD. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. The backflow of acid has easy passage if the lower oesophageal sphincter is weakened, which means it easily relaxes and opens up.
The burning sensation in the chest that accompanies heartburn is uncomfortable and can be quite painful. If left untreated, frequently recurring heartburn may cause severe damage to the oesophageal tissue.
Symptoms of heartburn include:
While heartburn itself is not a serious condition, stomach acid can damage the cells in the oesophagus which carries risks of further complications, such as Barrett's oesophagus. Speak to your doctor if you are concerned about developing Barrett's oesophagus as a result of chronic GORD.
There are steps you can take to prevent heartburn from developing, such as:
Other possible causes of hearburn include:
If you believe a medication you are taking is causing heartburn, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist for advice. They may be able to prescribe or recommend a heartburn treatment for you, like Omeprazole.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which blocks cells in the lining of the stomach, which reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
By reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach, Omeprazole prevents heartburn from occurring.
Your doctor will determine a suitable starting dose of Omeprazole for you and how frequently you should take it.
Always follow the doctor's prescription when taking Omeprazole.
The recommended dose, unless prescribed otherwise by your doctor, is as follows:
You should take Omeprazole in the morning, with or without food.
Omeprazole capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
The doctor may increase or lower the dosage depending on how you respond to the treatment.
If you forget to take Omeprazole, take it as soon as you remember.
Do not take more Omeprazole to make up for a missed dose. Skip the missed dose altogether if it's already nearly time for the next dose, and continue taking Omeprazole as prescribed.
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away if you accidentally take more Omeprazole than prescribed.
Before taking Omeprazole, we encourage you to read the patient information leaflet (PIL) enclosed with your medicine.
The patient information leaflet contains important information about taking and storing Omeprazole, including a complete list of side effects, ingredients, and instructions on what to do in the case you experience an allergic reaction.
You can view the patient information leaflet for Omeprazole online.
Do not take Omeprazole if you are allergic to any of the ingredients used to make Omeprazole, or are allergic to any other medication belonging to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, such as lansoprazole.
If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking Omeprazole and speak to your doctor urgently. If you experience a severe reaction, go straight to your nearest A&E department immediately. Take the medicine and packaging with you so the doctors can assess what you took and how much you took.
Signs of an allergic reaction may include:
Omeprazole may not be suitable for you. If you are unsure whether this medicine is safe for you, ask one of our doctors or a qualified pharmacist for advice.
Do not take Omeprazole if you are currently on any medication containing nelfinavir.
Omeprazole may affect the effectiveness of other medicines. Ensure that you speak to your doctor about any medication you are currently taking, including those bought over-the-counter, on prescription, and health or dietary supplements.
If you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or plan on becoming pregnant soon, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist for advice on whether the benefits of this medicine outweigh any potential risks posed to you or your unborn child.
Inform our doctor if you are breastfeeding, so they can determine whether this medicine is safe for you.
