Omeprazole is a generic for Prilosec, and as such, it is made by several different companies.

what does ic mean ? what does dr mean ? ## Hello, Petey! How are you? The IC means that your doctor wants you take it between meals, so you're not taking it when you first wake up on an empty stomach. The DR means delayed release, so it is a time release formulation of the medication. The FDA classifies Omeprazole as being a PPI that is most commonly used to treat or prevent heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take OMEPRAZOLE DR 20MG CAP APO...WHAT DOES APO MEAN???

I was prescribed Omeprazole dr, 20 mg. my friend takes the same Omeprazole 20 mg, but, it's not dr. she wants to give me what she has left being she was taken off this med. Can I take hers, expir. date is still valid. thank you ## The difference is that the DR stands for delayed release, which means that when you take it, it is designed to slowly release in your body over a period of time. The regular formulation would be released into your body, all at once. This means that it may not work as well for you, since you have been on one that lasts several hours, which may better treat your condition. Have you tried consulting a doctor or pharmacist? It isn't that there would be harm to you, since it's the same substance, but it just doesn't work the same. Are there any othe...
