The active ingredient in Prilosec OTC delayed release tablets is omeprazole magnesium. Omeprazole is a "proton pump inhibitor" - it greatly slows down the manufacture of hydrochloric acid by the stomach. The magnesium acts as a "buffer".

Inactive ingredients include: Glyceryl monostearate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, methacrylic acid copolymer, microcrystalline cellulose, paraffin, polyethylene glycol 6000, polysorbate 80, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium stearyl fumarate, starch, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide, triethyl citrate5Ome

What is the difference between omeprazole and omeprazole 20 mg ec?

Omeprazole refers to the drug substance itself, but can also mean any drug containing omeprazole. Omeprazole 20 mg ec likely refers to a specific finished pharmaceutical product (i.e. a drug product, like a tablet or capsule), that contains 20 mg of omeprazole, and is enterically coated. The enteric coat (ec) is required to prevent the omeprazole from being degraded in the stomach by the gastric acid. This means that the part of the product containing the omeprazole will be undissolved until the product enters the gut, specifically the duodenum. Some omeprazole products are not enteriically coated, and instead contain an alkaline substance to neutraliz the gastric acid, and thus prevent degradation of omeprazole.
