OMETECH 40MG

OMETECH 40MG is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer (stomach or duodenal ulcer), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Normally, a thick layer of mucus protects the stomach against its own acid secretion. However, overproduction of stomach acid erodes it over time, resulting in issues including GERD, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

OMETECH-40MG contains omeprazole, which prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.
