FAQs

Netse Capsule 15's is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer (stomach or duodenal ulcer), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour).

Netse Capsule 15's contains omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor), which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme called H+/K+ ATPase (the gastric proton pump). This proton pump, located in the stomach wall cells, is responsible for releasing gastric acid. Netse Capsule 15's prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.

Prolonged intake of Netse Capsule 15's may lead to atrophic gastritis (inflammation of stomach cells), vitamin B12 deficiency, and weakening of bones or osteoporosis (loss of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D). Your doctor may prescribe calcium, vitamin D, or haemoglobin-enhancing medications to cope with long-term side effects.

No. Netse Capsule 15's is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Netse Capsule 15's is only indicated for the treatment of hyperacidity, acid reflux symptoms (GERD), heartburn and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

No. Gas and acidity are two different common discomforts. Acidity is caused when improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) is located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe, causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc., from the body.

No, Netse Capsule 15's does not treat gastric bleeding. However, it helps reduce the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients by lowering stomach acid levels and protecting the oesophageal and stomach lining from further damage.
