Omeprazole 20mg Capsules reviews

• What Symptoms Does Omeprazole Treat?

  

  Omeprazole helps treat a range of stomach and digestive conditions. These include a burning feeling in your chest or throat (heartburn), a sour or bitter taste in your mouth, and the feeling of food coming back up after eating. It can also relieve pain or discomfort in your stomach, bloating, burping, and feeling fullness or heaviness after meals.

  Omeprazole is often used for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from your stomach travels up into your throat, causing heartburn and inflammation. It also treats ulcers in the stomach and small intestine, including those associated with a bacterial infection called Helicobacter pylori. If you have these ulcers, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics alongside Omeprazole. It can also be used to treat or prevent ulcers caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and to manage a rare condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which is where your stomach makes too much acid.

• How Long Does Omeprazole Take To Work?

  

  You may start to feel the benefits of Omeprazole within a few hours, but it can take one to four days to feel the full effect. This is because it takes time to reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. To get the best results, you should try to take Omeprazole at the same time every day. Even if your symptoms seem to get better, you should keep taking it as prescribed unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.

• What Is The Difference Between Omeprazole and Lansoprazole?

  

  Both Omeprazole and Lansoprazole are commonly prescribed to treat acid reflux. However, some studies suggest that Lansoprazole is faster-acting than Omeprazole, meaning that if it is taken reactively (as soon as symptoms start to appear) it could help ease the effects quite rapidly.

  This could be partly down to the difference in dosages between the two drugs. Omeprazole is typically prescribed in 20mg doses, while Lansoprazole is prescribed in 30mg capsules.

• Can I Drink Alcohol While Taking Omeprazole?

  

  It’s generally not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Omeprazole. Alcohol can make your stomach produce more acid than normal, which can reduce how well the medicine works. This means you may not get as much relief from symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux. Even small amounts of alcohol could impact this, and so it’s best to avoid alcohol altogether while taking Omeprazole.

• Can I Take Omeprazole After Eating?

  

  Some people don’t experience the effects of acid reflux/heartburn until after they have eaten. Because of this, they might not take Omeprazole as a preventative measure, but instead take it after food, when the symptoms have already begun. This isn’t recommended, and if you are prescribed Omeprazole, your prescriber will advise you to take it either on an empty stomach or with food.

  However, if you do take it after eating, you should make sure you don’t lie down straight away, to avoid making your symptoms worse. You should begin to experience relief from the symptoms within an hour or two.

• Who Takes Omeprazole At Night?

  

  You would normally take Omeprazole in the mornings, but if you have severe acid reflux or nocturnal acid reflux symptoms (symptoms during the night), your prescriber may decide a nighttime dose is right for you. Taking Omeprazole before bed may help reduce acid levels while you sleep. Always follow the advice given to you by our experienced clinical team.

• Can I Take Omeprazole And Gaviscon Together?

  

  Yes, you can take both if you need to, but you should leave a two-hour gap between them. Gaviscon is an antacid that gets to work quickly, tackling the symptoms of acid reflux immediately. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, and so it works over time to reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It can be useful to take both while you’re waiting for Omeprazole to work fully, but you should always listen to medical advice.

• Will Omeprazole Affect My Contraception?

  

  Omeprazole isn’t known to affect any type of regular contraception, including the combined pill. However, it could reduce the effectiveness of one particular type of emergency contraception called ellaOne (ulipristal). If you need emergency contraception, you should ask for a different type.

• Can Lifestyle Changes Help With Acid Reflux?

  

  Yes, making simple lifestyle changes can help with acid reflux. Avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods can help reduce symptoms. Raising the head of your bed slightly may stop acid from coming up while you sleep. If you often get symptoms at night, avoid eating for three hours before you go to bed. Maintaining a healthy weight by eating healthily can help, as can cutting down on caffeinated drinks, alcohol and smoking.
