Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules are a medication used for the treatment of gastric diseases, primarily to inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa.
Omeprazole belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors, which effectively reduce gastric acid secretion. It has good therapeutic effects on diseases caused by excessive gastric acid, such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The enteric-coated capsule design ensures the medication is released only after reaching the small intestine, preventing degradation by gastric acid and enhancing drug efficacy.
This medication should be used under the guidance of a physician. During treatment, dietary habits should be adjusted to avoid consuming spicy, raw, cold, overly acidic, sweet, or hot foods.
This medication is generally well tolerated, but some adverse reactions may occur. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, and nausea. However, these symptoms are usually mild and do not interfere with the treatment process.
