Zegerid contains a combination of omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid your stomach produces. Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid that raises the pH in your stomach to keep the omeprazole from breaking down in stomach acid.

Zegerid is used to treat heartburn and other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Zegerid is also used to treat certain type of ulcers, or to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).

Zegerid is not for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms.
