A member asked:
Is it ok to take prilosec for more than 14 day to protect stomach during nsaid therapy? is prilosec good or do u recommend another?

Omeprozole: Take it as long as you are having distress for the NSAID. If you no longer take the meds it is not needed so stop, If you find you have not gastric irritation while taking the NSAID you can stop the Prilosec. very few side effects from this drug even if taken for years!
