Answers: I seem to need it more than once a day for Acid Reflux.
My husband was prescribed Prevacid. Our insurance co. wouldn't cover it, so the doctor said he could take Prilosec OTC. The dose on the box said one per day, but the doctor told him to take 2 per day, because that was the prescription strength. Before you change anything, you should talk to your doctor first, because your doctor will know if there would be any adverse reactions to any other medication you're on. Best wishes.
Better follow the directions, if it is not working for you, consult your MD for a different prescription
You should never alter our prescribed medication without first consulting your doctor or at least a pharmacist
