This medication is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat conditions such as ulcers, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also effective in treating ulcers caused by long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). When ulcers are caused by bacterial infections, this medicine may be combined with antibiotics like amoxicillin or clarithromycin. Prilosek effectively alleviates symptoms like heartburn, difficulty swallowing, coughing, and sleep disturbances by reducing stomach acid production. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Take this medication as directed by your doctor. The typical dose is 15-30 mg taken orally once daily in the morning before a meal, with a full glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or open the capsule, as this may reduce its effectiveness or increase side effects. Antacids can be used alongside this medication if needed. The dosage and treatment duration depend on your medical condition and response to therapy. Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistency. If symptoms worsen, contact your doctor immediately. Prilosek may take 1-4 days to fully take effect. Continue treatment even if symptoms improve. Improvement in gastric ulcers or reflux disease is typically observed within 4 to 8 weeks. Heartburn treatment usually lasts 14 days. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if you require more than one treatment course every 4 months, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Prilosec is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it is unknown whether it passes into breast milk. Inform your doctor if you experience an allergic reaction. Disclose your medical history, especially if you have liver disease, stomach tumors, persistent heartburn (over 3 months), unexplained weight loss, constant nausea/vomiting/stomach pain, or blood in vomit or black stools. These symptoms may indicate a serious condition. Prilosec may cause dizziness, so avoid activities requiring focus, such as driving or operating machinery. Limit alcohol consumption. Do not start or stop any medication without your doctor's approval. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, inform your doctor. Do not share this medication with others or use it for conditions other than prescribed.
Hypersensitivity to Prilosec or its components.
Common side effects include headache, constipation, cough, dizziness, or rash, which may resolve during treatment. If these persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. While allergic reactions are rare, seek immediate medical attention if you experience rash, itching, dizziness, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Report any other unusual symptoms to your doctor or pharmacist.
Prilosec may reduce the elimination of diazepam, warfarin, and phenytoin, which are metabolized in the liver. It may also interact with drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 system, such as cyclosporine, disulfiram, and benzodiazepines. Concomitant use with clarithromycin may increase plasma levels of Prilosec, erythromycin, and 14-hydroxy-clarithromycin. Monitor your condition closely if taking ampicillin, cilostazol, cyclosporine, diazepam, digoxin, disulfiram, iron, itraconazole, ketoconazole, moclobemide, phenytoin, sucralfate, voriconazole, or warfarin. Prilosec can be combined with antacids if prescribed. Acid-reducing drugs like Prilosec may reduce the effectiveness of sucralfate and antifungals such as ketoconazole and itraconazole. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for proper dosing timing, typically taking Prilosec 30 minutes before sucralfate.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
If an overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms may include confusion, blurred vision, unusual sweating, or a rapid heartbeat.
Store Prilosec at room temperature (59-77°F or 15-25°C) away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Plan for refills if your treatment requires an extended period.
