Prilosec (Omeprazole Magnesium)

Prilosec Information:

Prilosec (generic name: Omeprazole) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of the symptoms of gastrointestinal reflux disease, and other conditions which involve high levels of stomach acid including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Omeprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. Prilosec belongs to the group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors and reduces the levels of stomach acid, and helps to heal damage to the esophagus from stomach acid, as well reducing the symptoms from ulcers. Duodenal ulcers are located in the tube at the exit of the stomach, while gastric ulcers occur in the stomach. Gastrointestinal reflux disease, which is also sometimes thought to be heartburn, is a common disease whereby acid from the stomach leaks into the gastrointestinal tract and oesophagus. It is not to be used for immediate relief from heartburn symptoms.
