Easid 20 MG Capsule 15 contains omeprazole (20 mg). Here's how it works:

• Blocks H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system: The active ingredient omeprazole in Easid 20 MG Capsule 15 effectively blocks the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system, also known as the proton pump. This enzyme system is found in gastric parietal cells, which are responsible for secreting stomach acid.
• Reduces Stomach Acid Production: By inhibiting this proton pump, omeprazole significantly reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This action helps manage symptoms and promotes healing in various gastrointestinal conditions related to excessive stomach acid.

2. Keep the medicine in a dry place, shielded from direct light and moisture.
3. Ensure you keep this medicine out of reach of children.
4. Always use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're experiencing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux, try reducing your intake of spicy and fatty foods. These can aggravate your symptoms by increasing stomach acid production.
• For those managing peptic ulcer disease, try to avoid alcohol and smoking as these habits can worsen your condition by promoting stomach acidity.
