Answer:

"Prilosec will help your heartburn but it's not designed to provide immediate relief of specific episodes of heartburn."

Explanation:

Omeprazole is indicated for treating reflux esophagitis, gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. It also works as a gastric protector for those who will use medicines that "hurt" the stomach.

This medicine has been shown to be effective in relieving the sensation of heartburn, however this relief is not immediate and the patient must wait for the medicine to act. It is correct to take Omeprazole 15 minutes before a meal because it will serve as a stomach protector throughout the day, preventing excessive release of hydrochloric acid as soon as the food reaches the stomach.
