Omez ODT Tablet

Omez ODT Tablet belongs to the group of medicines that reduce acid formation in the stomach. It is commonly prescribed for conditions caused by excess acid, such as heartburn, acid reflux, stomach or intestinal ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By lowering acid levels, it eases irritation, provides comfort, and supports healing of the digestive tract.

The tablet is usually taken in the morning, about an hour before meals. The exact dose and duration depend on your health condition and your response to treatment. Even if symptoms improve quickly, it is important to continue using the medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. Better results can be achieved by eating light, frequent meals and avoiding foods or drinks that trigger acidity such as tea, coffee, spicy meals, or oily snacks.

Some people may experience side effects like headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, abdominal pain, or bloating. These are mostly mild and temporary, but if they persist, medical advice is needed. Prolonged use, especially beyond a year, may increase the risk of problems like weak bones or fractures. In such cases, your doctor may suggest ways to protect bone health.

Before starting this tablet, inform your doctor if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, allergies to similar medicines, or if you are on treatments for conditions such as tuberculosis, epilepsy, fungal infections, HIV, or if you are taking blood thinners. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before use.
