Omee Capsule 20’s belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumour). Normally a thick layer of mucous protects the stomach against its own acid secretion. But, in the long run, it gets eroded by excessive stomach acid production, leading to complications like GERD, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Omee Capsule 20’s contains omeprazole, which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the stomach wall cells and is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion. Omee Capsule 20’s prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
Omee Capsule 20’s may cause common side effects like stomach pain, gas formation (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. These side effects are temporary and may be resolved after some time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, contact the doctor.
Omee Capsule 20’s should not be given to the patient suffering from Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to any components in Omee Capsule 20’s, or will have an endoscopy in the future. Ask your doctor if you should stop taking Omee Capsule 20’s a few weeks before your endoscopy as it may hide some of the problems that would be spotted during an endoscopy. Prolonged use of Omee Capsule 20’s may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine due to loss of magnesium. Avoid using Omee Capsule 20’s with St John’s Wort (plant-based antidepressant), rifampin (antibiotic) and methotrexate (anti-cancer and anti-arthritis medicine) due to the severe drug interaction.
