Prilosec? Prilosic is a common misspelling of Prilosec.
Prilosec® (omeprazole) is a medication that can be prescribed to treat duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcers. It is also approved for the treatment of GERD, H. pylori infections, and pathological hypersecretory conditions. The drug, which works by decreasing acid production in the stomach, comes in capsule form and is available in three different strengths. Although most people tolerate Prilosec well, potential side effects include upper respiratory infections, stomach pain, dry mouth, and headache.
