How Omeperazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg Work For Your Frequent Heartburn


Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg work differently from other heartburn products, such as antacids and other acid reducers.  Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg stop acid production at the source - the acid pump that produces stomach acid.  Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg are to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days.


What to Expect When Using Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg


Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg are a different type of medicine from antacids and other acid reducers.  Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets 20 mg may take 1 to 4 days for full effect, although some people get complete relief of symptoms within 24 hours.  Make sure you take the entire 14 days of dosing to treat your frequent heartburn.


Safety Record


For years, doctors have prescribed omeprazole to treat acid-related conditions in millions of people safely.
