A member asked:

What is the maximum dose of omeprazole you can take in a day already took two 20 mg and my acid reflux is still killing me?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Acid: You can double the dose but you can also supplement it with Tums (calcium carbonate) and you may want to see a doctor if Omeprazole no longer controls your symptoms.
