Description

Omeprazole capsules are an effective proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, commonly used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach and duodenal ulcers, and other acid-related disorders. By blocking excess acid, Omeprazole capsules relieve discomfort, promote healing, and support the long-term management of acid-related conditions. Available in multiple strengths, they offer tailored dosing options to suit individual treatment needs.

Available Strengths

  • Omeprazole 10mg Capsules – Lower dose for mild cases or maintenance therapy.
  • Omeprazole 20mg Capsules – Standard strength for typical acid-related conditions, including GERD.
  • Omeprazole 40mg Capsules – Higher dose for more severe acid-related disorders.

Directions for Use

  1. Take as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once daily, ideally in the morning before food.
  2. Swallow capsules whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open them, as this may affect the medicine’s effectiveness.
  3. Dosage and duration will vary based on the condition being treated; always follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
