Where to Buy Prilosec (Omeprazole) Canada?
Description
Prilosec works as a proton pump inhibitor that helps in decreasing the amount of acid that our stomach produces. Basically, Prilosec is used for treating ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn or GERD) and other types of conditions that involve excessive production of acid by the stomach like sysmetic mastocytosis, multiple endocrine adenomas and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. This medicine can be combined with antibiotics for treating certain kinds of ulcers that are caused due to bacterial infection (H. pylori). It can also be used to prevent or treat the damage done to stomach and the upper part of the intestine due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Prilosec is successful in shutting down several acid producing active pumps directly over a period of time, while leaving enough acid that is necessary for digestion. By taking only one pill once in a day, you can relieve your heartburn for up to 24 hours at a stretch.
