OMECER 20MG CAPS 14S (OMEPRAZOLE)

• Omecer 20mg Capsules 14s (Omeprazole) is a medicine used to reduce stomach acid and manage conditions associated with excessive acid production. Each capsule contains omeprazole 20mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid released into the stomach. This helps relieve acid-related symptoms and allows irritated or damaged tissues in the digestive tract to heal.

Omecer may be prescribed for several acid-related conditions, including:

- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Helps manage heartburn and acid reflux when stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus.

- Reflux oesophagitis: Helps reduce acid exposure and support healing of inflammation in the oesophagus.

- Gastric and duodenal ulcers: Reduces stomach acid to support ulcer healing.

- Medicine-associated ulcers: May be used to treat or prevent ulcers associated with certain anti-inflammatory medicines in patients at risk.

- Helicobacter pylori-associated ulcers: Used alongside appropriate antibiotics as part of a prescribed treatment regimen.

By suppressing acid production, omeprazole helps reduce irritation caused by stomach acid. It is not an immediate-relief antacid; the time needed for symptom improvement depends on the condition being treated.

Directions and precautions: Take Omecer as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Swallow the capsule according to the package instructions. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about other medicines you use, particularly if you take multiple prescriptions or have liver problems. Possible side effects include headache, abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

Pack information: 20mg capsules, supplied in a pack of 14.
