Omecip 20mg is an acid-reducing drug that lowers the stomach's natural acid production. It is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers in adults. Ulcers are caused by medicines like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Omecip can also be taken to stop ulcers from forming if you are consuming NSAIDs. It is also indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis in children. It may also be given together with antibiotics to treat gastric ulcers caused by H. pylori infection. An excessive amount of stomach acid caused by a pancreatic tumour is often referred to as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The medicine is not for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms. Omecip capsules contain Omeprazole 20mg, which belongs to a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors, which work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach releases.
