Uses of OMEBET 20mg

OMEBET 20mg is designed to alleviate symptoms and treat conditions caused by excessive stomach acid production. Its main uses include:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD is a chronic condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, heartburn, and discomfort. OMEBET reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from these symptoms.
Peptic Ulcers: OMEBET 20mg is used to treat stomach and duodenal ulcers by reducing the acid that can worsen or cause ulceration. It is also helpful in preventing ulcers, especially those related to long-term use of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
Helicobacter Pylori Infection: In combination with antibiotics, OMEBET 20mg can help eradicate H. pylori, a bacteria responsible for causing ulcers.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: This rare condition involves tumors in the pancreas or duodenum that cause excessive stomach acid production. OMEBET helps control the acid levels in such cases.
Dyspepsia (Indigestion): OMEBET is effective in managing symptoms of indigestion such as bloating, nausea, and stomach pain.

Omebet 20mg Ingredients

OMEBET 20mg contains the active ingredient omeprazole.

How Omebet 20mg works

Omeprazole, the active ingredient in OMEBET 20mg, works by inhibiting the enzyme H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the proton pump, which is found in the stomach’s parietal cells and is responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid into the stomach. By blocking this enzyme, OMEBET significantly reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This reduction in stomach acid allows damaged tissues to heal and prevents further irritation.
