Zegerid (o-MEP-ra-zole ) is used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease, a condition in which the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. Sometimes Zegerid is used in combination with antibiotics to treat ulcers associated with infection caused by the H. pylori bacteria (germ). Zegerid is also used to treat Zollinger-Ellison disease, a condition in which the stomach produces too much acid. Zegerid is also used to treat dyspepsia, a condition that causes sour stomach, belching, heart burn, or indigestion. In addition, Zegerid is used to prevent upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding in seriously ill patients. Zegerid works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Zegerid is available only with your doctor's prescription. Oral Delayed-release capsules (U.S.) Powder for oral suspension (U.S.) Delayed-release tablets (Canada)
