Brand:
OMEE is formulated with Omeprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor that works by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the production of stomach acid. This makes OMEE effective in treating conditions associated with excessive stomach acid, including:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and irritation.
- Peptic Ulcers: Sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus, often caused by H. pylori infection or long-term use of NSAIDs.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A rare condition in which the stomach produces too much acid due to tumors in the pancreas or duodenum.
OMEE helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach pain, promoting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining. It is typically taken once daily before meals for optimal results.
Usage
OMEE is indicated for the treatment of:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Peptic Ulcers
