I have been prescribed Losec for reflux, should I take it regularly or only when needed?

28-year-old woman2 years ago

I have a prescription for losec for bruised stomach, acid reflux and I am 25SA pregnant. Can I take it only when I need it? Or do I have to take it every day to get the results? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question!

Often it can be taken as needed. If you don't have symptoms of reflux or anything else, there is no need to take it unless your doctor tells you otherwise

I hope I've been helpful, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask
