I'm switching from omeprazole to lansoprazole for gerd. do i need a washout period or can start taking lansoprazole immediately (i.e. the next day)?

Take right away: These are chemical modifications of the same basic molecule with the same effect. You can effortlessly transition from one to the other without a washout needed.
