Medical Description
Omez capsule is used to treat heartburn and stomach and intestinal ulcers. It contains omeprazole as an active ingredient. This capsule works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Thus, also used for treating Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and chest pain due to stomach acid reflux disease.
Omez should be used under medical prescription and for the prescribed duration. It should be taken without food. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headache are some side effects of the Omez 20 capsule.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Omeprazole belongs to the class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involve the intake of ions via proton pumps in the cells.
- Omeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach and hence leads to reduced acid production.
