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.
Â
Omeprotect is indicated for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (such as heartburn, acid regurgitation) in adults.
Â
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.
