Prilosec (actually, usually a similar drug like Prevacid, since Prilosec went OTC) is often given to people who are taking a lot of by mouth medications. These meds can cause an increase in acid in the stomach and the Prilosec/Prevacid works by shutting off some of the acid producers. So the acid is reduced. He could be taking it because his other pills are causing an increase in acid in his stomach.
