About Omiriv 20 Capsule

OMEPRAZOLE belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitor (PPIs) which reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumour).

OMEPRAZOLE helps in reducing the stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall responsible for the release of gastric acid secretion damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum. OMEPRAZOLE prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Uses of Omiriv 20 Capsule

Stomach ulcers, Acid reflux (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - GERD), Hyperacidity, Zollinger Ellison syndrome

Medicinal Benefits of Omiriv 20 Capsule

OMEPRAZOLE is effective at healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of food pipe), relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, stomach ulcers.  OMEPRAZOLE works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid). It can be prescribed to all age groups including special populations like the elderly, pregnant, lactating mother, kidney, and liver disease patients. Usually, no dosage adjustment is required for these groups. It should not be given to the children less than 1 year of age as no clinical studies has been done.
