Zegerid OTC is a medication that can be taken to treat frequent heartburn caused by acid reflux. You do not need a prescription to buy Zegerid OTC. The active ingredients of Zegerid OTC is a combination of Omeprazole and Sodium Bicarbonate.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces acid by blocking the action of the acid pumps in your stomach. Sodium Bicarbonate supports the function of Omeprazole by working as an antacid that increases the pH in your stomach and shields the Omeprazole from the stomach acid. This means Zegerid OTC (Omeprazole/Sodium Bicarbonate) is rapidly absorbed by your body so it starts working faster. It could take a few days before you notice the benefits of taking Zegerid OTC, so be patient.
