Having traveled to Spain one of things I remember most was the amazing seafood that was served. And a Spanish Seafood Stew was one of the dishes that I enjoyed the most and ordered more frequently.

Lisa and I love to travel and one of our dream locations had always been Spain. A few years ago we made that dream come true. The culture, the food and the beauty of Spain is simply amazing and the people are some of the friendliest we’ve ever encountered during our travels.

You know I love to eat and I enjoy telling people that I eat for a living. It’s not a bad job to have, although it can have its challenges. When a smiling local, hands me one of their favorite dishes to try, I can’t say no.

Every now and then I sample foods that can cause the old Chef Dennis indigestion and heartburn, but thanks to Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets I can eat everything I’m offered without worrying about the consequences of my frequent heartburn.

That gives me comfort and more time to enjoy all the deliciousness that my travels have to offer, other than just food, like the Flamenco show we attended in Madrid.

Isn’t it time you left your heartburn behind and started enjoying life? If you suffer from frequent heartburn, Omeprazole ODT may be just what you’re looking for.

Made for frequent heartburn sufferers who experience symptoms 2 or more days per week, Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets provide long-lasting 24-hour protection! Bonus: you don’t even need a glass of water, as the strawberry-flavored tablet dissolves right on your tongue.

Take one dose daily for 14 days according to package directions. Don’t take Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets for more than 14 days unless directed by your doctor. Omeprazole ODT may take 1-4 days for full effect and is not intended for immediate relief.

You can find it online and in stores under the Store Brand label. Eight out of 10 Omeprazole users prefer an Orally Disintegrating Tablet* to get relief from their symptoms..

*Based on a 2017 survey of heartburn sufferers who had used either national brand or store brand Omeprazole tablets within the last 12 months, 78% of survey participants responded that they would prefer an orally disintegrating tablet versus other over-the-counter (“OTC”) Omeprazole capsules or tablets to obtain heartburn relief.
