Buy Omeprazole 20mg Capsules 100’s Online Now in Nairobi, Kenya – Effective Proton Pump Inhibitor for Acid Reflux & Ulcers
Omeprazole 20mg Capsules 100’s offer a trusted solution for those suffering from excessive stomach acid and related conditions. Designed as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), this product works by reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach, thus alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. Whether you are dealing with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric or duodenal ulcers, or conditions associated with NSAID usage, these capsules are a reliable option available for purchase online in Nairobi, Kenya.
Product Overview
Omeprazole 20mg Capsules 100’s contain the active substance omeprazole, which belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. This medication is highly effective in reducing stomach acid and is commonly prescribed for:
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD): Helps prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus, reducing heartburn and inflammation.
- Ulcers: Aids in healing gastric and duodenal ulcers, including those infected with Helicobacter pylori when used alongside antibiotics.
- NSAID-induced ulcers: Prevents the formation of ulcers caused by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: Manages excessive acid production due to a pancreatic growth.
By targeting the root cause of acid overproduction, these capsules not only relieve symptoms but also support the healing process, ensuring a more comfortable daily life.
How It Works
Omeprazole works by blocking the enzyme in the stomach wall that is responsible for producing acid. With reduced acid levels, the stomach environment becomes less aggressive, allowing damaged tissues in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum to heal more effectively. This action makes Omeprazole 20mg Capsules 100’s an essential medication for those experiencing chronic acid reflux or ulcer-related discomfort.
Usage Instructions
It is vital to use Omeprazole 20mg Capsules exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on your specific condition and age. Below are some common guidelines:
- For GORD symptoms (heartburn and acid regurgitation):
- If your doctor has detected mild damage to your esophagus, the typical recommendation is 20 mg once daily for 4–8 weeks. In some cases, if the damage persists, a higher dose of 40 mg may be prescribed for an additional 8 weeks.
- Once healing is underway, the dose might be reduced to 10 mg once daily to maintain relief.
- If no esophageal damage is present, a dose of 10 mg once daily is usually sufficient.
- For duodenal ulcers:
- The common dosage is 20 mg once daily for 2 weeks. If healing is incomplete, the treatment might be extended for another 2 weeks.
- In cases where the ulcer does not fully heal, an increased dose of 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks may be recommended.
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about your dosage or if your condition changes during treatment. Following your healthcare provider’s instructions is crucial for both efficacy and safety.
