Suggest Dosage For Omeprazole
My insurance company changed my mess from Prilosec OTC to omeprazole. Instead of taking one every morning the instructions say to take twice a day before meals. My question is do I have to wait right before I eat or just on empty stomach. For some reason I can t seem to remember to take before I eat. Sometimes I remember in the middle of my dinner or when it s over. I am hopeless. Please help. If I could just take it anytime before I eat would help. Thank you My email is YYYY@YYYY .

Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you in this.
Omeprazole will give good effect when you taken on empty stomach before half an hour of meal. Take omeprazole capsules before a meal, preferably in the morning. Omeprazole tablets may be taken with food or on an empty stomach.
I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
