Omez 10 Capsule

Omez 10 Capsule is a medicine that helps control the excess acid produced in the stomach. It is prescribed for problems related to acidity such as heartburn, acid reflux, ulcers in the stomach or intestine, and certain rare conditions like Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. By lowering acid levels, it provides relief from discomfort and also allows the lining of the stomach and food pipe to heal properly.

Doctors usually recommend taking this capsule on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, about an hour before meals. The amount and duration of treatment will vary depending on the condition being treated and how the body responds. Even if symptoms settle quickly, it is important to continue the course as advised. Simple lifestyle measures, like having smaller meals more frequently, avoiding spicy and oily food, cutting down on tea, coffee, or carbonated drinks, can further improve the results of the treatment.

Some people may experience mild problems such as nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, loose stools, gas, or vomiting. These usually ease on their own, but if they persist or become troublesome, medical advice should be sought. When this medicine is used for long periods, there may be an increased risk of complications such as bone thinning or fractures, especially at higher doses. Your doctor may discuss ways to reduce such risks, for example by ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake.

Before starting the course, it is important to tell your doctor if you have had serious liver issues, any allergy to similar medicines, or if you already suffer from weak bones or osteoporosis. This medicine can also interact with other treatments, particularly medicines for epilepsy, tuberculosis, fungal infections, HIV, and blood-thinning agents. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it under medical supervision.

Omez 10 Capsule works by blocking the mechanism in the stomach that produces acid, belonging to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. By reducing acidity, it helps ease symptoms like burning in the chest, sour belching, or discomfort after meals, and prevents further damage to the digestive tract lining. If a dose is missed, it can be taken when remembered, but if the next one is near, it is better to skip the missed capsule rather than doubling the intake. Alcohol consumption is best avoided during the course, as it can worsen stomach problems. People with kidney conditions generally tolerate this medicine without any change in dose, while those with serious liver problems may require adjustments.
