  1. I'm about to head to OTS with a Reserve pilot slot and a completed FC1 without waivers. I never discussed heartburn OTC meds (Prilosec) that I've taken and am curious if you would recommend I see a doctor to get a prescription to continue it at OTS, then get approval for my next FC1.

    Did your post mean Prilosec no longer requires a waiver for any amount of use? Thanks!!

    I've always been on prescription prilosec. The Flight Doc told me I'm cleared hot to take it daily, prilosec no longer requires a waiver if it is taken for acid reflux. That's what he wrote the presciption for... and what I do.

  2. I've been flying for 20 years, taking prilosec for the last 7. I took it no more than 3 times a week to avoid needing the waiver. A waiver was required for taking it daily until about 2 years ago but is no longer required for prilosec. I'm not sure if initial entry is any different or nexium vs prilosec but I bet your chances are good.
