Why is Omeprazole, Sodium bicarbonate prescribed?
Zegerid is used to treat intestinal ulcers (duodenal ulcers), stomach ulcers (gastric ulcers), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and erosive esophagitis. It contains omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, and sodium bicarbonate, an antacid, which alters stomach acid and thus improves the absorption of omeprazole.
