Omez-IT+ Capsule SR

Omez-IT+ Capsule SR is a medicine that combines two active ingredients to help manage acid reflux problems. It is mainly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease, a condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe, leading to heartburn, burning sensation, stomach pain, and irritation. This capsule not only reduces the amount of acid in the stomach but also helps in the smooth passage of food and gas, which eases discomfort.

The medicine is usually taken on an empty stomach, exactly as advised by the doctor. The dosage and duration depend on your health condition and how your body responds to the treatment. It is important to continue the medicine for the full course recommended by your doctor, as stopping too early may cause symptoms to return. Make sure to inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking since interactions are possible.

Some people may experience side effects like headache, nausea, stomach cramps, loose motions, dizziness, bloating, excessive saliva, or disturbed sleep. Most of these are mild and tend to settle on their own. However, if they become troublesome or persistent, medical advice should be taken. The medicine may sometimes cause drowsiness, so activities like driving or operating heavy machinery should be avoided until you know how it affects you. Alcohol can increase this drowsy effect and should be limited. Along with medication, simple lifestyle measures such as avoiding spicy food, tea, coffee, and chocolate, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating can improve results.

Before starting treatment, it is important to let your doctor know if you have any history of liver or kidney problems. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding should also seek medical guidance before using this medicine.

The capsule is generally used to control acid reflux and its related symptoms. By lowering acid levels, it brings relief from heartburn and protects the food pipe from damage. Esomeprazole, one of its components, blocks the acid-producing pumps in the stomach, while Itopride improves the movement of the digestive tract and reduces nausea. This dual action helps in faster relief and better digestion.

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. However, if the next scheduled dose is near, the missed one should be skipped and the regular routine continued. Taking two doses together is not recommended.
