About Omee Capsule

Omee Capsule 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 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 prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Omee Capsule 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 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 , or will have an endoscopy in the future. Ask your doctor if you should stop taking Omee Capsule 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 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 with St John’s Wort (plant-based antidepressant), rifampin (antibiotic) and methotrexate (anti-cancer and anti-arthritis medicine) due to the severe drug interaction.

Uses of Omee Capsule

Omee Capsule is used to treat Stomach ulcers, Acid reflux (GERD), Hyperacidity, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The detailed uses of Omee Capsule are as follows:
• Acid reflux treatment: Omee Capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, providing relief from acid reflux symptoms. It is commonly used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Hyperacidity: Omee Capsule helps to relieve hyperacidity by reducing the production of stomach acid.
• Dyspepsia relief: Omee Capsule provides relief from dyspepsia symptoms like bloating, heartburn, and stomach pain by reducing stomach acid.
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: Omee Capsule can also be prescribed to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which helps control acid production and manage symptoms.
• Prevention of stomach ulcers: Omee Capsule prevents stomach ulcers by reducing acid and promoting healing.

Directions for Use

Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it.

Key Benefits

Omee Capsule is effective at healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of food pipe), relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, stomach ulcers. Omee Capsule works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid). 

How Omee Capsule Works

Omee Capsule 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 prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

What if I have taken an overdose of Omee Capsule

Do not take more than the prescribed dose of Omee Capsule as it may cause overdose. The symptoms of overdose include blurred vision, confusion, drowsiness, vomiting, nausea, sweating, fast or pounding heartbeat, flushing (feeling of warmth), headache and dry mouth. If you suspect you have taken overdose or notice signs of overdose, please consult a doctor immediately.

Drug Warnings

Omee Capsule 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 Omee Capsule or will have an endoscopy in the future. Ask your doctor if you should stop taking Omee Capsule 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 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 with St John’s Wort (plant-based antidepressant), rifampin (antibiotic) and methotrexate (anti-cancer and anti-arthritis medicine) due to the severe drug interaction.

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 cigarette. 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 antioxidant, calcium and vitamin B 12 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 the peptic ulcer and H Pyroli infection.
  • Avoid regular 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.

Omee Capsule prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Prolonged intake of Omee 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. Omee Capsule is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Omee 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.
