Hi, my mother is 63 years old and she is suffering from heartburn because of gastritis which she has for a long time. In last few days she feels very bad and usual doses of Prilosec didnt help her. I would like to know what maximum acceptable dosage of Prilosec is. Thank you.

Hi, first of all I dont think it is wise to keep pushing with greater doses of Prilosec if usual doses didnt help. It would be good to contact her doctor and find better solution because you have to see what the reason for worsening of her condition is. Anyway, as much as I know, maximum dosage would be around 80mg per day.
