Field of use

• The drug contains the active ingredient omeprazole. It belongs to a group of drugs called "proton pump inhibitors". These work by reducing the amount of acid that produces their stomach.
• The medicine is used in adults for brief treatment of reflux complaints (e.g. heartburn, acid resolution).
• Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the esophagus that can ignite and cause pain. This can lead to signs of illness such as a burning pain rising to the throat in the chest (heartburn) and an acidic taste in the mouth (acid resolution).
• It may be necessary to take tablets 2 - 3 consecutive days in order to achieve an improvement in the symptoms.

Taking

• It is recommended that you take your capsules in the morning.
• You can do ittake the capsules with the food or on an empty stomach.
• Swallow your capsules as a whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the capsules because they contain excessive pellets that prevent the medicine from being broken down by the acid in the stomach. It is important that the pellets are not damaged. These micropellets contain the active ingredient omeprazole and are exaggerated in gastric juic resistant, which protects them from being broken down during the stomach passage. The pellets release the active ingredient in the intestine, where it is absorbed by their body to develop its effect.
