male, i think you're talking about prilosec (for the prescrip. and OTC pill). it's one of those pills that doesn't get rid of acid like tums would... it stops your stomach from producing more, or as much, acid as it has been. so by taking it every day, you won't have the problem, but it takes a day or two to kick in and for you to get rid of the excess acid in your stomach.
i take nexium, which is by the same company that makes prilosec, and it's wonderful when i take it properly.
