About this item
Omefast 20mg is designed to provide 24-hour relief from excess stomach acid. Unlike antacids, which only neutralize existing acid, Omefast works by "turning off" the tiny pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid in the first place. This makes it highly effective for chronic conditions like GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), where persistent acid backflow irritates the esophagus.
Dosage of Omefast 20mgTake as directed by your physician or pharmacist.
- For Heartburn/GERD: Typically one 20mg capsule once daily for 4 to 8 weeks.
- For Ulcer Prevention: One 20mg capsule daily, or as prescribed.
- For H. pylori: Usually 20mg twice daily when combined with antibiotics.
Proper Administration
- Timing: For best results, take Omefast in the morning, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. The pumps are most active after a period of fasting, making this the most effective time to block them.
- Swallow Whole: Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules. They are specially coated (enteric-coated) to pass through the stomach acid and dissolve in the intestine for proper absorption.
- Missed Dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
How to Store and Dispose of Omefast 20mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep the container tightly closed to protect the capsules from moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired medication to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Omefast 20mg
- Patience is Key: While some people feel relief within a few hours, it may take 1 to 4 days of consistent use to reach the full acid-blocking effect.
- Lifestyle Shifts: Avoid "trigger foods" (spicy, fatty, or acidic foods) and avoid lying down immediately after eating to maximize the benefits of the medication.
- Short-Term Use: If you are self-treating for frequent heartburn, do not use it for more than 14 days without consulting a doctor.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Omefast 20mg
- Known Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Omeprazole or other PPIs (e.g., Esomeprazole, Lansoprazole).
- Nelfinavir: Do NOT take Omefast if you are taking Nelfinavir (used for HIV infection).
Side Effects of Omefast 20mg
- Common: Headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or flatulence (gas).
- Serious but Rare: Severe allergic reactions, persistent diarrhea (risk of C. diff infection), or signs of low magnesium (tremors/dizziness) with long-term use.
- Action: If you experience an unexplained skin rash, joint pain, or severe watery diarrhea, stop use and contact your doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Masking Symptoms: PPIs can mask the symptoms of more serious gastric conditions. If you experience unintended weight loss, persistent vomiting, or difficulty swallowing, see a doctor immediately.
- Bone Health: Long-term use (over a year) may slightly increase the risk of bone fractures. Ensure adequate Calcium and Vitamin D intake.
- Vitamin B12: Long-term acid suppression can reduce the absorption of Vitamin B12.
- Pack Size: 14 or 28 Capsules.
- Form: Delayed-Release (Enteric-coated) Capsules.
- Active Ingredient: Omeprazole 20mg.
