Would take omeprazole for a month be considered long term? is it safe to take for a month?

Discuss with doc: Some get relief from heartburn or other symptoms of GERD by using a short course (2-4 wks ) of omeprazole. Avoiding aggravating factors such as alcohol,caffeine,or laying down within an hour of eating can also help.Longer term use of these meds (for years) is sometimes needed, but you should discuss your needs with your doc to make sure other conditions that would need treatment are not overlooked
