	<description>Hi ,I have Gerd, gastritis, a hiatus hernia and heartburn. I have been taking Omeprazole 40 mg for over a month and I do not feel any better. Is that normal? How long before this medication starts taking effect? Please help. - Filed in Omeprazole</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Omeprazole/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Omeprazole&lt;/a&gt; is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, &lt;a href=&quot;https://rxchat.com/Categories/Gastrointestinal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GERD&lt;/a&gt;, ulcers and gastritis. &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; It will not, however, do anything for a hernia. &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; As to how long before it helps, there is actually no way to say whether or not any medication will be effective for any certain person.  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; But, this medication usually does need to be taken for 8 to 16 weeks, depending on the severity of your condition, to actually help these conditions to heal.  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://rxchat.com/wiki/Omeprazole/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:/&amp;#173;/&amp;#173;rxchat.com/&amp;#173;wiki/&amp;#173;Omeprazole/&amp;#173;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; If you are still experiencing some symptoms, such as stomach pain and heartburn, you may be able to use another &lt;a href=&quot;https://rxchat.com/Categories/Heart-Burn-Indigestion/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;antacid&lt;/a&gt; with this, like &lt;a href=&quot;https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Tums/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tums&lt;/a&gt;, which will give some relief in minutes.  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt; Have you asked your doctor about also using something like this?</description>
