Yes here it is: I would advise you to buy some prilosec(omeprazole)and take 20mg right away and then continue taking it once daily(same time...Evening time is best after today).It takes a couple of hours to provide relief.If you want instant relief, then take one dose of liquid maalox or liquid mylanta...They work within 30 minutes but their ffect does not last more than a couple of hours.
