Omeprotect contains the active ingredient omeprazole. It belongs to a group of medications called "proton pump inhibitors." These medications work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.
Omeprotect is indicated for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (such as heartburn, acid regurgitation) in adults.
Reflux is the rise of acid from the stomach, which can cause bloating and pain. This can lead to symptoms such as a painful burning sensation in the chest that rises to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
You may need to take the capsules for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve an improvement in symptoms.
You should consult your doctor if your condition worsens or if you do not improve after 14 days.
