Why is this medication prescribed? Prilosec is used to treat ulcers; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the food pipe (esophagus); and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Prilosec is used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Prilosec is in a class of medications called proton-pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach. How should this medicine be used? Prilosec comes as a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule. It is usually taken once a day before a meal. When taken in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, prilosec is taken once a day or twice a day (every 12 hours) for 10 to 14 days. To help you remember to take prilosec, take it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take prilosec exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules whole; do not chew or crush them. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, you may add the contents of an prilosec capsule to applesauce. Place one tablespoon of applesauce in an empty bowl. Open the capsule and carefully empty all the pellets inside the capsule onto the applesauce. Mix the pellets with the applesauce and swallow immediately with a glass of cool water. The applesauce should not be hot and should be soft enough to be swallowed without chewing. Do not chew or crush the pellets. Do not store the applesauce/pellet mixture for future use.
