Omeprazole (Prilosec®) is available by prescription and is used to treat several conditions related to the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. As part of a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole works by decreasing the amount of acid that is produced in your stomach. Omeprazole is not suitable for everyone. A few of the conditions you should let your healthcare provider know about before taking the medication include liver disease or any allergies you may have.
