Omez 40 Tablet

Omez 40 Tablet is a medicine that helps lower the amount of acid formed in the stomach. It is prescribed for conditions such as acidity, acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach ulcers, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. By reducing acid levels, it relieves symptoms like burning pain and supports healing of the stomach and intestines.

This tablet is generally recommended to be taken in the morning, about an hour before eating. The dose is decided by the doctor depending on your medical condition and how your body responds. It is important to continue taking it for as long as advised, even if you start feeling better quickly. Following healthy habits like eating small light meals, cutting down on tea, coffee, spicy or fatty foods can help improve the results of the medicine.

Some people may notice minor effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, or gas. These are usually temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, you should consult your doctor. Long-term use, especially for over a year or in higher doses, may increase the risk of weak bones or fractures. Your doctor might suggest supplements such as calcium and vitamin D if extended treatment is required.

Before using this medicine, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any serious liver disease, past allergic reactions to similar medicines, or bone-related problems like osteoporosis. Since Omez 40 can interact with other medicines, tell your doctor about everything you are currently taking, including drugs for HIV, fungal infections, tuberculosis, epilepsy, or blood clot prevention. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only use it after discussing risks and benefits with their doctor.

The tablet works by blocking certain pumps in the stomach that produce acid, which in turn relieves burning sensations, reflux, ulcers, and other acid-related conditions. It belongs to the group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors.

To take this medicine, swallow the tablet whole with water on an empty stomach. Do not break, crush, or chew it.

Drinking alcohol while on this treatment can worsen acidity and should be avoided. Its effect on driving is uncertain, so avoid driving if you feel dizzy or unwell. The tablet is considered safe for those with kidney problems, but people with serious liver disease may need a lower dose or careful monitoring.

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember. If your next dose is already near, skip the missed one and take the next at the regular time. Do not take two tablets together to make up for a missed dose.
