Omeprazole 20mg

Description

Gojigas-20 capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to manage and treat a variety of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. Each capsule contains 20 mg of omeprazole, formulated for oral administration in a stable and effective form. The capsule may also include excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, starch, and gelatin to ensure proper delivery and absorption of the active ingredient. Omeprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme, commonly referred to as the proton pump, in the parietal cells of the stomach lining. By blocking this final step in gastric acid production, omeprazole effectively reduces stomach acid secretion, creating a more favorable environment for the healing of the gastrointestinal lining. This makes it highly effective in managing conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and erosive esophagitis. The capsule’s design ensures that the active ingredient is protected from degradation by stomach acid and is released in the intestine for optimal absorption. Omeprazole provides long-lasting acid suppression, typically resulting in symptom relief within a few days of starting therapy. Common indications for omeprazole include heartburn, acid regurgitation, stomach pain, and damage to the esophageal lining caused by prolonged acid exposure. It is also used as part of combination therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with peptic ulcer disease. Gojigas-20 capsules are generally taken orally, preferably 30 to 60 minutes before a meal, once daily or as prescribed by a healthcare professional. While generally well tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. Long-term use should be monitored by a physician to prevent potential nutrient deficiencies or other complications. Gojigas-20 capsules offer a safe, effective, and convenient solution for controlling excessive stomach acid, promoting healing, and providing lasting relief from acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.
