If you are in search for Prilosec, prescription or over-the-counter, to treat ulcers in your stomach or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you may be wondering how you can lower the cost at the pharmacy counter. Our experts have identified some ways you can save money on Prilosec.

What is Prilosec?

Prilosec (omeprazole) is used to treat heartburn, stomach ulcers, certain esophagus problems, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Prilosec works by decreasing the amount of acid in your stomach. This drug should not be used for immediate heartburn relief as it may take one to four days to feel the full benefit of the medication. Omeprazole capsules or delayed-release capsules should be preferably taken in the morning, before a meal. Omeprazole tablets may be taken with food or on an empty stomach.
