Omez 20 mg – 14 Capsules
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Omez is a standard treatment for acid-related disorders. By blocking the "pumps" in the stomach lining that release acid, it prevents damage to the esophagus and stomach.
Primary Indications:
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): To treat heartburn and acid reflux.
Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers: To heal sores in the stomach and the first part of the small intestine.
H. pylori Eradication: Used alongside antibiotics to kill stomach bacteria that cause ulcers.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: To manage rare conditions where the stomach produces extreme amounts of acid.
Secondary Indications:
Prevention of NSAID-related Ulcers: Protects the stomach for patients taking long-term painkillers like Ibuprofen or Aspirin.
Functional Dyspepsia: Provides short-term relief for indigestion and sour stomach.
Usage: Usually one capsule daily. It is most effective when taken 30–60 minutes before breakfast.
Important: Do not crush or chew. The capsules contain enteric-coated pellets that must reach the intestine intact. If you have trouble swallowing, you can open the capsule and mix the pellets with a spoonful of yogurt or juice (do not chew the pellets).
Note: Produced by Pharaonia Pharmaceuticals (Pharo Pharma).
