GeriCare's Omeprazole tablets work differently from other frequent heartburn products by stopping acid production at the source. Recommended to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days. Omeprazole is for adults (18 years and older) with frequent heartburn two or more days a week. It is not intended for those who have heartburn infrequently, one episode of heartburn per week or less, or for those who want immediate relief of heartburn.
