Omefast 20 is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Each tablet contains 20mg of Omeprazole, a highly effective medication for treating conditions related to excessive gastric acid. By "turning off" some of the acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, it allows the esophagus and stomach lining to heal.
This product is primarily indicated for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. It is used for:
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Relieving "heartburn" and acid regurgitation.
Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers: Treating active ulcers and preventing them from returning.
Gastritis: Reducing stomach inflammation caused by excess acid or irritation.
H. pylori Eradication: Used in combination with antibiotics to clear the bacteria that cause most stomach ulcers.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Managing conditions where the stomach produces extreme amounts of acid.
NSAID Protection: Protecting the stomach lining for patients who must take long-term painkillers (like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac).
Omeprazole (20mg): A specialized compound that provides long-lasting acid suppression (typically up to 24 hours per dose).
Standard Dose: Usually 1 tablet (20mg) daily.
Frequency: For severe cases or H. pylori treatment, a pharmacist or doctor may increase this to 20mg twice daily.
Duration: Typically taken for 2 to 4 weeks for heartburn, or longer for ulcer healing.
Timing: For maximum effectiveness, take Omefast 30 to 60 minutes before your first meal (usually breakfast).
Whole Tablet: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as it has a special coating to protect the medicine from being destroyed by stomach acid before it can be absorbed.
Consistency: Take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent acid control.
Not for Instant Relief: Omefast is a "preventative" acid blocker. It may take 1–3 days to feel the full effect. For immediate relief of a burning sensation, you may use an antacid liquid (like Gaviscon) alongside it.
Long-term Use: If you need to take PPIs for more than 3 months, consult our pharmacist about maintaining healthy Magnesium and Vitamin B12 levels.
Pregnancy/Nursing: Consult a healthcare professional before use.
Indicated For: Adults and adolescents suffering from recurring heartburn or diagnosed ulcers.
Side Effects: Generally safe. Some individuals may experience mild headache, nausea, or flatulence (gas).
Q: Can I take it only when I feel heartburn?
A: While you can, Omefast works best when taken as a daily course to prevent acid from building up in the first place.
Q: What should I avoid while taking this?
A: To help the medicine work better, try to limit "trigger" foods like spicy peppers, excessive caffeine, alcohol, and very fatty meals which naturally increase stomach acid.
Q: Can I take Omefast with my other medications?
A: Omeprazole can interact with certain blood thinners (like Clopidogrel) or antifungal meds. Always inform our pharmacist of other medications you are currently taking.
