Overview Omerise 20 Capsule

AcidGard 20mg capsules lower stomach acid production. They treat stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, easing symptoms and promoting healing. Take one capsule an hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage depends on your condition and response; continue as prescribed even if symptoms subside. Smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods enhance treatment. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) may increase fracture risk, particularly at higher doses; discuss bone loss prevention with your doctor. Inform your physician of any history of severe liver disease, allergies to similar medications, or osteoporosis before starting treatment. This medication may interact with other drugs, including those for HIV, fungal infections, tuberculosis, epilepsy, or blood thinners. Disclose all medications to ensure safety. Pregnant or nursing individuals should consult their doctor before use.

FAQs on Omerise 20 Capsule

Clinical studies show no adverse interactions between this medication and domperidone; a combined formulation is also marketed. Domperidone enhances gastrointestinal motility, while Omerise 20 Capsule reduces gastric acid secretion. This synergistic effect makes the combination highly efficacious in managing reflux esophagitis, heartburn, and peptic ulcers affecting both the stomach and intestines.
Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir-containing HIV treatments. Report liver issues, ongoing diarrhea or vomiting, dark or bloody stools, unexplained weight loss, dysphagia, abdominal pain, or indigestion to your physician. Disclose all other medications you're using, as interactions are possible. Inform your doctor of any prior allergic skin reactions to this medication. It's unsuitable for infants under one year or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use to minimize potential harm to the infant.
Diarrhea is a possible side effect for some users. While typically mild, persistent loose stools accompanied by abdominal pain and fever require prompt medical attention.
Continue using this medication for the period your physician recommends. Treatment length is individualized based on your health status. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing this medication.
Reduced calcium absorption due to this medication can result in osteoporosis, characterized by weakened bones. Prolonged use increases the likelihood of fractures, particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine. Prior to treatment, disclose any existing osteoporosis or corticosteroid use (which elevates osteoporosis risk) to your physician. Discuss preventative measures with your doctor; they may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplementation to mitigate this risk.
Extended use exceeding three months may induce adverse effects. Significantly, hypomagnesemia can develop, manifesting as fatigue, confusion, dizziness, tremors, or muscle spasms, alongside potential cardiac arrhythmias. Prolonged use beyond one year elevates the risk of fractures (owing to hypocalcemia), particularly affecting the hip, wrist, or spine, concurrent with increased susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. This deficiency can cause anemia, potentially leading to increased fatigue, weakness, pallor, palpitations, dyspnea, lightheadedness, dyspepsia, anorexia, flatulence, and neurological symptoms including paresthesia and gait disturbances.
This medication can lead to deficiencies in vitamins B12 and C. Oral vitamin B12 absorption, dependent on stomach acid, is impaired by this drug's reduction of gastric acid production. Concomitant vitamin B12 supplementation may be necessary. The clinical relevance of reduced vitamin C levels remains unclear, thus vitamin C supplementation is not advised.
Individuals with heart conditions may use this medication as directed by their physician. Note, however, potential interactions with some other drugs (such as clopidogrel and digoxin), also commonly prescribed for cardiac issues. Careful medical supervision is necessary for patients concurrently using these medications.
