A member asked:

I have ulcers, and i am taking omeprazole 40mg once a day, is it fine to take prilosec otc 20mg twice a day, spaced 12 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can take it twice a day to get the same total dosage, but I'm not sure that it'll be as effective as PPI medications are best taken on an empty stomach in the morning before stomach parietal cells secrete acid. In addition in.my experience with significant ulcer disease a dose of 40 mg twice a day is better. However your MD who knows your case is best to advise you about dosing.
