Bob went to the Doctors today, to discuss his acid reflux, he saw
Dr Sartaj Tyabji and he got another telling off for leaving it so long to go to the Doctors, they prescribed him omeprazole, which he used to take, and seemed to work.
Omeprazole (
Prilosec®) is used for treating certain conditions related to the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Healthcare providers often prescribe omeprazole medicine for acid reflux, ulcers, and pathological hypersecretory conditions.
The medication is a type of proton pump inhibitor that works by decreasing acid production in the stomach. It is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated.
In clinical studies that used omeprazole medicine for acid reflux, up to 56 percent of people had complete relief from their
GERD (
gastroesophageal reflux disease) symptoms. These studies also showed that the drug helped to heal esophagitis due to GERD and helped keep erosive esophagitis from returning.
