Description

Leader Omeprazole Delayed Release Tablets provide 24-hour heartburn relief by reducing stomach acid production. Each tablet contains 20mg of omeprazole, the same active ingredient found in Prilosec OTC, offering a cost-effective alternative for frequent heartburn sufferers. The delayed-release formulation ensures the medication reaches the small intestine where it's absorbed, protecting the active ingredient from stomach acid degradation. This 14-day treatment course is designed for adults experiencing frequent heartburn (2 or more days per week). Leader Brand maintains the same high-quality standards as national brands while providing significant cost savings. The enteric-coated tablets are easy to swallow and begin working on the first dose, with full effect typically achieved after 1-4 days of consecutive use. Omeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class of medications, which work by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid production in stomach cells. This targeted approach provides longer-lasting relief compared to antacids or H2 blockers, making it ideal for managing chronic heartburn and acid reflux symptoms.
