About Omazole 20 Capsule
Omazole 20 Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) 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). 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.
Omazole 20 Capsule contains omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor), which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme called H+/K+ ATPase (gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the stomach wall cells and is responsible for releasing gastric acid. Omazole 20 Capsule prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Omazole 20 Capsule based on your medical condition. Omazole 20 Capsule may cause common side effects like stomach pain, gas formation (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Before taking Omazole 20 Capsule , inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or to other proton pump inhibitors. Also, tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, severe liver problems, difficulty swallowing, bloody or black stools, unexplained weight loss, or will have an endoscopy in the future. Omazole 20 Capsule should not be given to patients suffering from Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. Avoid prolonged use of Omazole 20 Capsule , as it may increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine due to loss of magnesium. Consult your doctor before taking Omazole 20 Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Omazole 20 Capsule 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).
Omazole 20 Capsule 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. Omazole 20 Capsule prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.
Prolonged intake of Omazole 20 Capsule 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. Omazole 20 Capsule is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Omazole 20 Capsule 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, Omazole 20 Capsule 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.
Yes, Omazole 20 Capsule can be taken before food. It is recommended to take Omazole 20 Capsule at least 30-60 minutes before a meal, preferably in the morning, for optimal effectiveness.
Before taking any medication, including Omazole 20 Capsule , it's important to consult with a doctor. They can assess your individual needs and provide customised advice.

Diarrhoea is a possible side effect of omeprazole. It's often mild and short-lived, but if it's severe or accompanied by other symptoms, please consult your doctor.
The duration of omeprazole treatment is individualised and depends on your specific condition and response to the medication.
Omeprazole can increase the risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis if taken for a long time. This is because it can interfere with calcium absorption. If you're taking omeprazole for a long time, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits.
Yes, long-term use of Omazole 20 Capsule may increase the risk of vitamin deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12. If you have any concerns or face any adverse effects related to vitamin deficiencies, please consult your doctor.
