Omez Capsule contains omeprazole as its active ingredient.

• Omeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors.
• It works by reducing the production of acid in your stomach.
• By inhibiting a specific enzyme called H+/K+ ATPase, omeprazole blocks the final step of acid production in the stomach.
• This helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn and allows the healing of acid damage to the stomach and oesophagus.
• Omeprazole can also help prevent ulcers from forming and may reduce the risk of developing oesophagal cancer.
• The effects of omeprazole can last up to 72 hours after a single dose, ensuring sustained relief from symptoms.

• Store Omez Capsule in a cool, dry place.
• Protect the medicine from light and moisture by keeping it in its original packaging.

• Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large meals.

• Quit smoking as it can worsen symptoms.
