Omicas 20mg Capsule

OMICAS 20MG CAPSULE

Omicas 20mg Capsule contains Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor used to treat acid-related conditions. It helps manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in both adults and children over one year old, alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal discomfort.

Uses of Omicas 20mg Capsule

Omicas 20mg Capsule is prescribed for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults and children
• Stomach and duodenal ulcers
• Ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection (alongside antibiotics)
• Ulcers induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (excess stomach acid production)

How Omicas 20mg Capsule Works

It reduces stomach acid production by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump in the stomach lining. This helps promote ulcer healing and reduces symptoms like vomiting and heartburn.
