Omeprazole Capsules	20mg	10*10Capsules/box

• Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It's often prescribed for conditions where too much stomach acid causes discomfort or damage.

Indications:

Omeprazole 20 mg is commonly used to treat conditions such as:

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation.

2. Peptic Ulcer Disease: Ulcers in the stomach or duodenum caused by an imbalance of stomach acid or infections like H. pylori. Omeprazole helps to heal the ulcers and prevent recurrence.

3. Erosive Esophagitis: Inflammation and damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid.

4. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A rare condition where the stomach produces too much acid, often due to a tumor (gastrinoma).

5. Prevention of NSAID-induced Ulcers: For people taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) long term, omeprazole can help prevent ulcers caused by these medications.

Dosage and Administration:
 

• Standard dosage: 20 mg once daily before a meal (usually breakfast).
• For more severe conditions, the dose may be increased or divided into multiple doses per day, depending on a doctor's prescription.
• Duration of treatment: 4-8 weeks for GERD and ulcers; longer for chronic conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or maintenance therapy.

Safety Considerations:
 

• Bone fractures: Long-term use of PPIs like omeprazole has been associated with an increased risk of bone fractures, particularly in older adults.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency: Prolonged use may impair B12 absorption, leading to a deficiency.
• Kidney problems: Omeprazole has been linked to kidney issues, including acute interstitial nephritis.
• Infections: Reduced stomach acid can increase the risk of infections like Clostridium difficile in the intestines.
