Note: You should not take omeprazole longer than 14 days since your body adapts to it.
You might be able to get a prescription to take omeprazole for a longer time if the heartburn is persistent. I am currently on a 3 month course, and the NHS page suggests that in some cases it is correct to take it for very long periods (“Depending on your condition or the reason you’re taking omeprazole, you may only need it for a few weeks or months. Sometimes, you might need to take it for longer, even for many years.”)
Good point. I’ll change it to say “without talking to a doctor”. My concern was just that someone could read this, take omeprazole longer than they need it, and create a bigger problem for themselves.
