It is commonly prescribed for patients who cannot take oral medication and need short-term treatment for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or erosive esophagitis. Administered intravenously, Prilosec Injection helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort by promoting faster healing of the stomach and esophagus lining.
