Omez 20mg capsule contains Omeprazole 20mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It does this by blocking the action of an enzyme called hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+-K+-ATPase), which is responsible for producing stomach acid


When Omeprazole is taken, it blocks the H+-K+-ATPase enzyme, which results in a reduction in the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This reduction in acid helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux


Omeprazole is used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which are all caused by the overproduction of stomach acid

Q: How does Omeprazole work?
Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach


Q: Can Omeprazole cause a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Long-term use of Omeprazole has been linked to a decreased absorption of vitamin B12 in the body, leading to a deficiency. This is because Omeprazole reduces acid in the stomach, which is necessary for the proper absorption of vitamin B12


Q: Can Omeprazole cause bone fractures?
Long-term use of Omeprazole has been associated with an increased risk of bone fractures, especially in the hip, wrist, and spine.

Q: Can Omeprazole cause drug-induced lupus?
