What is Omeprazole Sodium used for?
Omeprazole Mylan is a proton‑pump inhibitor that acts on gastric acid secretion pathways.
- Gastro‑oesophageal reflux disease: provides relief of heartburn and promotes healing of erosive esophagitis. - Peptic ulcer disease: supports ulcer healing and reduces risk of recurrence. - Zollinger‑Ellison syndrome: controls excessive gastric acid secretion associated with gastrin‑producing tumors. - Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens: used as part of combination therapy to improve ulcer healing rates. - NSAID‑associated gastric protection: lowers the risk of ulcer formation in patients requiring long‑term NSAID therapy.
What are the side effects of Omeprazole Sodium?
Omeprazole Mylan may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.
Common Side Effects: - Headache - Diarrhea - Nausea - Abdominal pain - Flatulence - Constipation
