ZEGERID OTC is an oral capsule combining omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) with sodium bicarbonate for over-the-counter treatment of heartburn and acid reflux. The sodium bicarbonate component enables rapid onset of action by neutralizing gastric acid, while omeprazole provides sustained acid suppression via proton pump inhibition. This combination addresses both immediate symptom relief and longer-term acid control.
