Omeprazole Capsules IP
Targeted Acid Control for Lasting Relief

Overview:
Omeprazole Capsules IP are a widely trusted treatment for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, offering effective and long-lasting relief from conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, gastritis, and acid reflux. As a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), Omeprazole works by inhibiting gastric acid secretion at its source—blocking the proton pump enzyme in the stomach lining responsible for acid production. This promotes healing of the mucosa, prevents recurrence, and provides sustained symptom relief.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively reduces stomach acid production

• Promotes healing of the stomach and esophageal lining

• Long-lasting relief from heartburn, indigestion, and reflux

• Aids in the management of chronic GERD and peptic ulcers

• Helps prevent recurrence of ulcers and acid-related damage

• Well-tolerated with proven safety for long-term use

Indications:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

• Peptic Ulcers (gastric and duodenal)

• Gastritis and Dyspepsia

• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

• Acid Reflux

• Ulcer prevention in patients taking NSAIDs

Mechanism of Action:
Omeprazole selectively and irreversibly inhibits the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells, leading to suppression of basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.

Dosage & Administration:
To be taken as prescribed by a physician. Usually administered once daily before meals, with dosage adjusted based on the condition being treated.

Precautions:

• Do not use for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms

• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment

• Long-term use may require monitoring for magnesium levels and bone health

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

• Keep out of reach of children

Possible Side Effects:
Generally well-tolerated. Possible side effects include headache, abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, or constipation. Long-term use may increase risk of nutrient malabsorption or gut infections in some individuals.
