Omegut Capsule 20 mg contains Omeprazole, a widely used proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort. By lowering gastric acid secretion, Omegut helps promote healing of the stomach lining and prevents further damage.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Omeprazole 20 mg

Indications

Omegut Capsule 20 mg is indicated for the management of various acid-related conditions, including:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Peptic ulcer disease (gastric and duodenal ulcers)
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
• Erosive esophagitis
• Prevention of NSAID-induced ulcers
• Dyspepsia (indigestion) associated with excess stomach acid

Mechanism of Action

Omeprazole works by inhibiting the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase enzyme) in the stomach lining. This enzyme is responsible for the final step of acid production. By blocking this process, Omegut significantly reduces gastric acid secretion, allowing ulcers to heal and minimizing irritation in the esophagus and stomach.
