Omeprazole gastro resistant tablets are intended for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (e.g. heartburn, acid regurgitation) in adults.

Each gastro-resistant tablet contains 20mg Omeprazole

The recommended dose is 20mg once daily for up to 14 days.

It might be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement of symptoms.

The majority of patients achieve complete relief of heartburn within 7 days. Once complete relief of symptoms has occurred, treatment should be discontinued.

Patients should be instructed to consult a doctor if:

• They have had previous gastric ulcer or gastrointestinal surgery.

• They are on continuous symptomatic treatment of indigestion or heartburn for 4 or more weeks.

• They have jaundice or severe liver disease.

• They are aged over 55 years with new or recently changed symptoms.

Patients should not take omeprazole as a preventative medication.

Patients should not take another PPI or H2 antagonist concomitantly

Omeprazole gastro-resistant tablets contain lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.

Speak to your pharmacist or doctor if you are taking any other medications.

Do not take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
