So I bought some omeprazole
There were three different brands from which to choose and two of the boxes said on the front that it was a delayed release drug. The third box didn't say, so I chose that. When I got home and read all the directions and stuff carefully, though, I think it is a delayed release drug even if it doesn't say so. It warned you against cutting open the capsule and stuff like that.
I'm hoping it works. They did not have one that was not a delayed release, those were the only three options. The directions say to take for 14 days and not to take for any longer than that and to see a doctor if your problems continue after 14 days, which was pretty much my plan anyway.
I took the first one this morning. The directions said to take in the morning one hour before eating, so I had a cup of tea and took the omeprazole and a little over an hour later ate a protein bar. And I will say, my stomach feels fine right now.

You might want to call your PCP and see if they would just call you in a month supply. As medications go, it isnt one most of us mind calling in if the patient is specific about what they want. As opposed to " I have had some stomach problems can you call something in?"which is not what you would do, but we get those kind of phone calls to. I would think telling the nurse in the office what has been going on and how the omeprazole helped they may just call it in particularly if you have addressed this in the office before. The other thing is if you do have to go in and pay the 15 bucks you can ask for a 90 days supply with a refill. That way you get more bang for your buck. Good luck and am glad it is working. I take it every once in a while and I really helps.
