Dr. Zhao Haiming
Patients with gastroenteritis may generally take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules. These capsules can inhibit gastric acid secretion to a certain extent and protect the gastric mucosa. They are commonly used in the treatment of gastroenteritis, duodenal ulcers, and other related conditions, effectively alleviating symptoms such as acid reflux and nausea. Patients with gastroenteritis should select medications rationally under the guidance of a physician and avoid self-medicating.
