When you
eat, millions of tiny pumps in your stomach
produce acid to break down food — heartburn
occurs when these excess acids reflux into your
esophagus. Prilosid® TAJ BRAND works by
directly blocking many of these pumps. Your
stomach produces enough acid to digest food, but
reduces excess acid — making it the most
effective heartburn treatment choice and the
#1 doctor recommended TAJ BRAND acid
reducer.†
Prilosid® TAJ BRAND blocks heartburn for 24
hours with one pill a day.*
Prilosid ® TAJ BRAND is strong enough to fight
heartburn before it begins. It’s the only
over-the-counter PPI (proton pump inhibitor)
clinically proven to block heartburn for 24
hours. And that means with 1 pill a day for
14 days, you get the relief you need from the
pain of frequent heartburn.* And, while taking
Prilosid ® TAJ BRANDD, heartburn won’t keep
coming back.
In a recent study, we tested the strength of
Prilosid ® TAJ BRANDD against frequent
heartburn. Take a look at the results:
Heartburn Glossary
Acid reflux: The backflow of
stomach acid into the esophagus, causing
heartburn.
Antacids: Heartburn treatments
such as Tums and Rolaids that neutralize the
acid in your stomach. Unlike the proactive PPI,
antacids are usually taken after you eat or when
pain begins. While no heartburn treatments cure
the condition, antacids provide only temporary
relief.
Esophagus: The tube that
carries food from the mouth to the stomach. The
esophagus is part of the digestive system.
Frequent heartburn: Heartburn
that occurs two or more days per week.
Gastric acid: Another name for
stomach acid that is produced by the stomach to
help break down food for digestion.
Gastroenterologist: A physician
who specializes in disorders and conditions of
the digestive tract.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD:
A disease in which contents in the stomach back
up into the esophagus. Chronic, persistent
heartburn is the most common sign of GERD. Other
signs include: regurgitation, difficulty
swallowing, coughing, hoarseness and a feeling
of a lump in the throat. If you think you may
have this condition, talk to your doctor.
H2 Blockers: Heartburn
treatments such as Tagamet, Pepcid and Zantac
that relieve symptoms by reducing stomach acid
production. They begin working within an hour
and last for 12 hours. H2 Blockers are not as
effective in treating severe heartburn as PPIs.
Heartburn: A burning discomfort
that is generally felt in the chest, just behind
the breastbone. The burning sensation results
when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus.
Heartburn Trigger: A food or
lifestyle factor that is commonly known to cause
heartburn to flare up.
Lower esophageal sphincter (LES):
The valve that allows food into the stomach, but
does not allow it back into the esophagus under
normal conditions (e.g., after swallowing).
Proton pump inhibitors:
Prilosid® TAJ BRAND is a PPI — it works by
shutting down many active acid stomach pumps to
block heartburn before it begins.*
Prilosid® TAJ
BRAND works for 24 hours with one pill a day. It
is indicated for a 14-day course of treatment,
up to three times a year.
If you would like to use Prilosid® TAJ BRAND for
more than the three indicated 14-day courses of
treatment, you should first consult your doctor.
Here’s why: While Prilosid® TAJ BRAND is safe,
it’s also strong enough to mask more serious
conditions. By talking with your doctor first,
you can make sure you’re not missing a bigger
problem, such as GERD.
If you do miss a day of treatment, just continue
your treatment on the next day as usual.
Prilosid® TAJ BRAND is still safe and effective
for use in treating frequent heartburn, even
when you miss a day

Side Effects
Nausea, headache, diarrhoea, constipation and
flatulence are reported rarely with
adminstration of omeprazole. These events are
mild and transient and there has been no
consistent relationship with the treatment.
Overdosage
Reports have been received of overdosage with
omeprazole in humans. Doses ranged up to 2400 mg
(120 times the usual recommended clinical dose).
Manifestations were variable, but included
confusion, drowsiness, blurred vision,
tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis,
flushing, headache, dry mouth, and other adverse
reactions similar to those seen in normal
clinical experience.Symptoms were transient, and
no serious clinical outcome has been reported
when omeprazole was taken alone. No specific
antidote for omeprazole overdosage is known.
Omeprazole is extensively protein bound and is,
therefore, not readily dialyzable. In the event
of overdosage, treatment should be symptomatic
and supportive.
