Omez 40 mg – 20 Capsules
Omez 40 mg is a high-potency Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). It provides intensive acid suppression, which is essential for healing damaged tissue in the esophagus and stomach.
Primary Indications:
Severe GERD / Erosive Esophagitis: For intense acid reflux that has caused visible damage (erosions) to the esophagus.
Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers: To treat active, painful sores in the stomach or upper intestine.
H. pylori Treatment: Often used as the acid-blocking component in a "Triple Therapy" regimen alongside two antibiotics.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: To manage extreme acid overproduction caused by rare tumors.
Secondary Indications:
Upper GI Bleeding Prevention: Used to prevent re-bleeding in patients who have recovered from a bleeding ulcer.
Severe Gastritis: Treatment of severe stomach lining inflammation.
Usage: Usually one capsule daily, taken 30–60 minutes before breakfast. In severe cases like Zollinger-Ellison, a doctor may prescribe it twice daily.
Important: Do not crush or chew. The enteric-coated pellets inside must remain whole until they reach the small intestine. If swallowing is difficult, the capsule can be opened and the pellets mixed with a soft, acidic food (like applesauce), but the pellets must not be crushed.
Note: Produced by Pharaonia Pharmaceuticals (Pharo Pharma), Egypt.
