A member asked:
I'm out of my prescription omeperzole 40mg the pharmacist said i could take two 20mg prilosec otc at once? would you go along with this?

Generic: Omeprazole is just the generic name for Prilosec. If you have run out of your prescription it is very reasonable to substitute with Prilosec. And 40 mg omeprazole is equivalent to taking 2 of the 20 mg prilosec.
