Omez Injection is a medicine that helps control the excess acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly prescribed for problems like acidity, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. By lowering acid levels, it eases discomfort and supports healing of the stomach and intestine.

This injection may also be used in very ill patients to prevent stress ulcers, and doctors sometimes give it before anesthesia to reduce the chance of aspiration during surgery. It belongs to a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors. The medicine is given directly into the vein by a healthcare professional and is recommended when an injection is considered more appropriate than oral tablets. The exact dose and length of treatment will be decided by the doctor, based on your condition and response. Following a healthy routine, such as avoiding oily or spicy food, reducing caffeine, and eating light meals more frequently, can make the treatment more effective.

Some people may experience mild issues such as nausea, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, or reactions at the injection site like redness, pain, or swelling. These usually settle on their own, but if they continue or become uncomfortable, medical advice should be sought. Using the medicine for a long period, especially for over a year, can sometimes increase the risk of side effects such as bone thinning or fractures. Your doctor may suggest ways to protect your bones, including calcium or vitamin D supplements, if needed.

Before taking this treatment, inform your doctor if you have any serious liver problems, history of allergies to similar medicines, or conditions related to bone weakness. Since Omez Injection can interact with other drugs, it is important to let your doctor know about all the medicines you are taking, including those for HIV, tuberculosis, fungal infections, epilepsy, or blood thinning.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only after medical consultation. Alcohol consumption can worsen acidity and should be avoided during treatment. The medicine does not usually affect driving, but if you feel dizzy, drowsy, or less alert, avoid driving or operating machines. People with kidney problems can generally use this medicine without dose adjustments, but those with severe liver issues may need closer monitoring or a lower dose.

The injection is given only by a doctor or nurse, and it should not be self-administered. If you miss a scheduled dose, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance instead of taking it on your own.
