Generic Prilosec vs. Brand Prilosec
Buying generic medications has become more mainstream and less taboo as a result of Canadian pharmacies dominating the pharmaceutical industry. Online pharmacies have helped to remove some of the stigma and fear associated with buying generic medications; a stigma that was created by major drugs manufactures to ensure that consumers continue to spend big bucks on their brand name medications. When the fact of the matter is, is that generic medications bought at Blue Sky Drugs are the same quality and potency as any other brand medication. Blue Sky Drugs is very selective when choosing our generic medications, choosing only the most reputable companies. When comparing generic Ompeprazole to the brand Prilosec one can expect little differences; the chemical composition and the desired results are the same. The discrepancy may come in the appearance of the medication and the packaging. The pill may be a different colour, shape or size. Of course the price will not be significantly lower for the generic Omeprazole.

How Omeprazole Works
Prilosec is a prescription-required medication that is used to relive the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, more commonly referred to as GERD. The active ingredient in Prilosc is omeprazole, which belongs to the group of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors. Omeprazole decreases the amount of acid that is produced in the stomach that is responsible for the burning and painful feeling associated with GERD. Prilosec is also commonly prescribed to promote healing of erosive esophagitis; which is damage to the esophagus caused by excessive stomach acid.

Be sure to inform your doctor of all existing and pre-existing medical conditions you may have as well as any subsequent medications you may be taking. Do not take Prilosec if you are allergic to Omeprazole or to any of the ingredients in Prilosec.
