brand name: Prilosec
generic names: Omeprazole capsules, Omeprazole
Why is Prilosec prescribed? Prilosec is prescribed for the short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) of the following: - Stomach ulcer
- Duodenal ulcer (near the exit from the stomach)
- Erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus)
- Heartburn and other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (also known as GERD, which occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube connecting the throat to the stomach).
It is also used to maintain healing of erosive esophagitis and for the long-term treatment of conditions in which too much stomach acid is secreted, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomas (benign tumors), and systemic mastocytosis (cancerous cells). Combined with the antibiotic clarithromycin (Biaxin) (and sometimes with the antibiotic amoxicillin as well), Prilosec is also used to cure patients whose ulcers are caused by infection with the germ H. pylori . In addition, Prilosec is available as an over-the-counter (OTC) product. However, Prilosec OTC is approved only for frequent heartburn (occurs two or more days a week). The prescription version is still needed for treatment of ulcers, esophagitis, GERD, and other conditions that require monitoring by a doctor.
What are omeprazole capsules?
OMEPRAZOLE (Prilosec®) prevents the production of acid in the stomach. It reduces symptoms and prevents injury to the esophagus, stomach, or intestines in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or ulcers. Omeprazole is also useful in conditions that cause excessive stomach acid production such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and certain cancers. Generic omeprazole capsules are available.
What happens if I overdose? Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Symptoms of an omeprazole overdose include drowsiness, headache, sweating, vomiting, nausea, fast heartbeat, blurred vision, or dry mouth.
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding The effects of Prilosec (Omeprazole) during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Avoid combined therapy with Biaxin unless there is no alternative. Prilosec (and Biaxin) may appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. If this medication is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding until your treatment with this medication is finished.
