Omez 20 mg is a drug that lowers stomach acid. The active ingredient, omeprazole, belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The doctor prescribes Omez 20 mg for acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers, and gastritis, situations when it can help to heal the stomach lining or prevent ulcer formation associated with excess acid.

It is typically administered postprandially, once daily. It acts by blocking the secretion of acid in the stomach to relieve burning chest pain, sour taste in the mouth, and associated bloating. It is effective in the management of gastric and duodenal ulcers and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in conjunction with antibiotics.

Some of the more frequently observed side effects of omez 20 mg include nausea, headache, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. Long-term use may result in weak bones (osteoporosis) or vitamin B12 deficiency. Therefore, it should be taken only as prescribed by the doctor.

Patients with liver troubles or hypersensitivity to omeprazole need to see a doctor before using this medicine. Pregnant and lactating women should take the drug only when prescribed by a qualified physician.
