| Uses |
 |   |  |
| | Prilosec is used to treat
various acid-related stomach and/or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux
or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). It works
by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication may be used in combination
with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to treat certain types of
ulcers. |  |  |  |
| Directions |
 |    |   |
| | Take Prilosec by mouth, usually
once daily, 15 to 30 minutes before a meal; or as directed by your doctor. The
dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response
to therapy. Do not crush, break or chew the medication. Swallow the medication
whole. If you have difficulty swallowing this medication whole, the capsule may
be opened and the contents sprinkled onto cool applesauce and taken as directed.
Do not chew the food/medication mixture or prepare a supply in advance. Doing
so may destroy the drug and/or increase side effects. Drink a glass of cool water
after each dose to ensure complete swallowing of the medication. Potent acid-reducing
medicines such as omeprazole can decrease the effectiveness of sucralfate, as
well as other drugs such as the antifungals ketoconazole and itraconazole. If
instructed to take any of these drugs while taking omeprazole, consult your doctor
or pharmacist regarding the proper timing of each dose. |  |  |  |
