Omeprazole Capsules

More Information Before You Buy Omeprazole Online

• Generic Name: Omeprazole

Indication

Omeprazole tablets are a clinically proven drug often indicated for the treatment of certain conditions like acid reflux, peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and heartburn. It is a prescription-only medication that works by reducing the amount of acid the stomach makes, treating indigestion and heartburn symptoms. It may also help prevent esophagus cancer. Omeprazole capsules belong to a class of drugs called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI). 

Mechanism of Action

Omeprazole, the active ingredient, reduces the amount of acid created by the proton pumps in the stomach lining. The medication effectively reduces the overall acid production in the stomach, making it an effective treatment for acid reflux, heartburn, and other conditions. Healthcare professionals prescribe Omeprazole tablets (10mg or 20mg) as a starting dosage for patients experiencing stomach pain, indigestion, and acid reflux. 

Application and Administration

It is advisable to first consult with your healthcare provider before you buy Omeprazole online. Typically, you should take one Omeprazole capsule per day with a glass of water in the morning or evening, as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to take the medication 30 minutes before meals. Do not take 2 capsules daily, even when you forget to take the medication. 

Efficacy

Omeprazole is highly effective in treating acid reflux symptoms. Most patients order Omeprazole 20mg tablets online as it they have previously noticed improvement within a day. Taking a single capsule will be very helpful in getting relief from indigestion, acid reflux, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
