UPC: 037000809340
Prilosec OTC Wildberry is an over-the-counter acid reducer formulated to treat frequent heartburn, defined as occurring two or more times per week. Its active ingredient is omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that works by reducing stomach acid production, with each delayed-release tablet containing 20 mg (equivalent to 20.6 mg omeprazole magnesium). The manufacturer states it is designed for a 14-day course of treatment, taken once daily in the morning, and may provide relief for up to 24 hours.
This product is notable as the first over-the-counter PPI introduced over two decades ago, and the manufacturer reports it is the #1 doctor-recommended brand in its category based on pharmacist surveys. It features a wildberry flavor and is available in a 42-count package, with other sizes like 14-count also offered. The tablets are FSA/HSA eligible and should be swallowed whole with water before eating, not chewed or crushed.
