Omepraz Novo Capsule 15 is predominantly used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach. This medicine is part of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class.
In addition to managing GERD, this capsule is also recommended for managing heartburn, peptic ulcer disease (including gastric and duodenal ulcers), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, erosive oesophagitis, and for eradicating H. pylori bacteria when used in combination with antibiotics. These conditions are all related to excess stomach acid, and this medicine helps by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
You should take this medication as directed by your doctor. It's critical to let your doctor know about any ongoing medications or existing health conditions before you start using this medicine. If you experience any side effects, inform your doctor immediately. To get the best results, it's important to continue the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
