Is Prilosec OTC supposed to get rid of heartburn after the 14 days?
Rosetta P questioned:
It says to only take for 14 days, so does it get rid of heartburn/reflux after that? If anyone has any info on this or has taken it, please answer and let me know if it gets rid of the heartburn and acid reflux.

Stop Heartburn Quick
Prilosec OTC does temporarily suppress the symptoms of heartburn/reflux/indigestion. but it doesn’t heal it. It will re-occur
You must take a prescribed medication like Nexium, Losec, etc.
If you read the package that Prilosec comes in it will say that it relieves the symptoms not CURES them. The stopping after 14 days is because over the counter drugs are not intended for extended use, but rather quick, quick, relief. That is why we have prescription drugs. Side effects may occur with prolonged use.
