What Your Health Care Provider is Reading: Frequent Sufferers Successfully Follow Prilosec OTC Label Research Shows

  

Self-Selection and Use Patterns of Over-the-Counter Omeprazole for Frequent Heartburn

Recently published research shows that frequent heartburn sufferers are able to choose the appropriate heartburn medication, follow label directions, and know when to consult a doctor for long-term management of heartburn.

Lead author, Mark Fendrick, M.D., the University of Michigan professor who led the evaluation of this study says, "A substantial majority of people who purchased Prilosec OTC complied very well with the label instructions." Fendrick also notes that, "Contrary to some concerns that Prilosec OTC would result in decreased physician visits, this study showed that frequent heartburn sufferers actually increased consultation with their physicians."
