I have g.e.r.d is it ok to take zegerid otc longer than the 14 days?

Probably: Zegerid otc is a proprietary brand of Omeprazole plus sodium bicarbonate. Omeprazole is used for long term control of peptic ulcers, etc. However, it's always a good idea to get checked out by your family physician to be sure your gerd symptoms aren't masking something else more dangerous. Better yet, make appropriate lifestyle changes to decrease gerd symptoms.

Yes but: Otc acid reducers help reduce the discomfort of gerd. If you are not drastically better after 2 wks or your symptoms worsen during treatment, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Some conditions will require long term use of acid reducers but you should be under medical supervision.
