Certain medications have been reported to cause or worsen heartburn. If you’re currently taking a medication for a condition other than heartburn, check with your doctor about possible conflicts with Prilosec OTC^®. Your doctor will discuss with you how your medicine interacts with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Prilosec OTC.

Steps to Take

If you aren’t sure if your medication conflicts with Prilosec OTC, check with your doctor or healthcare provider before taking Prilosec OTC. Also, if you feel that medications may be contributing to your heartburn:

• Let your healthcare professional know if you experience heartburn or if your heartburn worsens when you begin a new prescription or nonprescription medication.
• Keep a record of when you began to experience these symptoms in addition to when you started taking any new medication.
• If a nonprescription medication causes or worsens heartburn, consult your healthcare professional to determine whether you should stop taking the medication.
• If a prescription medication seems to cause or worsen heartburn, contact your primary care provider as soon as possible.
