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.

Side Effects of Omazole 20 Capsule

  • Stomach pain
  • Gas formation (flatulence)
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea

Uses of Omazole 20 Capsule

Omazole 20 Capsule is used to reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It is commonly prescribed to treat:

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort.
  • Peptic Ulcers – sores in the lining of the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum), often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
  • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome – a rare condition in which tumors in the pancreas or duodenum cause the stomach to produce too much acid.
  • Erosive Esophagitis – helps heal damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid and prevents it from returning.
  • Symptom Relief – reduces common symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and stomach pain by lowering acid levels.
  • Bleeding Prevention – reduces the risk of upper digestive tract bleeding in critically ill patients by protecting the stomach and esophagus lining.

Directions for Use

  • Omazole 20 Capsule should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30-60 minutes before a meal, preferably in the morning.
  • It is typically administered once daily, but your doctor will determine the exact dose and timing based on your specific medical condition.
  • Check the label for directions before using this medication.
  • Dissolve the contents of Omazole 20 Capsule in the specified amount of water as directed. Stir well and drink the mixture immediately.
  • Do not store the prepared mixture for later use.

Key Benefits

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes, and high-fat and spicy foods.
  • Before going to sleep, try to raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows; instead, one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.
  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Alcohol can raise the level of production of stomach acid, leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter) which prevents backflow of the stomach acid back into the food pipe.
  • Include high-fibre containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (kale, spinach), and black peppers in your meal. These foods are full of antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin B12 that can help cope with the long-term effects of the medicine. Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help in the prevention of excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial in peptic ulcer and H. pylori infection.
  • Avoid sitting continuously, as it can increase stomach acid production. Try to take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.

FAQs

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. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and be aware of potential adverse effects. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

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.

Dissolve the contents of Omazole 20 Capsule in the specified amount of water as directed. Stir well and drink the mixture immediately. Do not store the prepared mixture for later use.

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 themselves over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, contact the doctor.
