Heartburn occurs when stomach acids reflux, or flow up, into the esophagus. Prilosec OTC Â® is only indicated for the treatment of frequent heartburn. If you think you may have any of the symptoms described below, please talk to your doctor or healthcare provider.
It takes over an hour for a PPI to take effect, so if you wait until you already have heartburn to take the GERD medication, you could be waiting a while for relief. In that situation a topical medication is best (Maalox, Tums, etc.) since they work right away. One interesting PPI, Zegerid, is different and can provide relief after heartburn strikes. Zegerid contains a PPI (omeprazole, which is the same active ingredient in Prilosec) and sodium bicarbonate (similar to Tums).
