Omeprazole: Uses, Benefits And Side Effects
Omeprazole (oh-MEP-prah-zole) is a treatment for the relief of stomach and oesophagus problems such as indigestion, heartburn and acid reflux. It can additionally be used to prevent and treat stomach ulcers. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
The medicine belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs work by blocking the ‘proton pump’ of the gastric parietal cell, thereby stopping the secretion of gastric acid.
All types of Prilosec Omeprazole 10 mg Capsules are available on prescription, and the lowest-strength 10mg tablets and capsules can be bought over the counter from pharmacies.
How to Take Omeprazole
Most people who take omeprazole take it once a day in the morning. If you’ve got a severe illness your GP may direct it to be taken twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening.
Omeprazole is taken orally, and comes in the form of a tablet, capsule or liquid that you can swallow. Do not crush, break or chew the tablets - take them whole with a glass of water. Liquid omeprazole will come with a syringe or spoon to help you take the right amount.
Omeprazole doesn’t upset the stomach, so it’s possible to take without food. In most cases it’s best to take just before a meal as this will prevent food from irritating the stomach lining.
Omeprazole Side Effects
Most people who take omeprazole won’t experience any side effects. If you do, it will usually be mild and go away once you stop taking the medicine.
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Flatulence
Gastrointestinal disturbances
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting
What’s the easiest way to get omeprazole?
If your GP has authorised you to take omeprazole on repeat prescription, you can order with Day Night Drugs.
