How long do omeprazole take to work ?? stomach so sore just below ribs :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ouch: Omeprazole works fairly quickly. About an hour to effect acid secretions, 2 hours for peak effect. If you are still having pain - are you sure it's "heart burn". Severe pain really needs to be evaluated by a physician and a hands-on assessment.
