A member asked:
Is it okay to take lanzoprazole or omeprazole everyday due to my frequent heartburn? spicy foods seems to trigger it again after 14 day treatment.

See below.: Many people take these meds every day, generally would like to take no meds if possible. Can try taking for thirty days then switching to every other day for a few days before stopping it and see how that works. If discomfort returns you should probably see doc to straighten this out.
