Omez 20 mg capsule belongs to antacids and heartburn medications. How Omeprazole works: The secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach cavity is mainly regulated by H (+) / K (+) - ATPase known as the proton pump, which is found in large amounts in the gastric parietal cells. The proton pump inhibitor works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen / potassium enzyme system, which inhibits stomach acid secretion. Omeprazole is a member of the class called "Proton Pump Inhibitors."

Erosive esophagitis (acidic irritation damaging the esophagus): inflammation that may damage the tissues of the esophagus, the muscular tube that transports food from your mouth to your stomach, and can cause pain, difficulty swallowing, and chest pain.

Tips to relieve heartburn and acid reflux: Patients with reflux are advised to lose weight and eliminate obesity, as studies have shown that excess weight causes reflux and bloating. Avoid eating foods that cause reflux and gastritis, including fatty foods high in fats and oils, spicy foods with spices, citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and tomatoes, mint, chocolate, onions, carbonated drinks, and caffeine-containing beverages. Do not take any medications without your doctor’s supervision, as some side effects of medications affect stomach health and cause reflux and digestive ulcers. Quit smoking or avoid places with smokers, as nicotine in cigarettes has been shown to relax muscles and cause pain and reflux in the esophagus. Wear loose clothing, which is an important precaution for reflux patients to prevent pain and severe inflammation. Follow a healthy diet containing vitamins and essential nutrients for body health, including vegetables and fruits. Divide daily meals into five small portions to prevent bloating and reflux, and to help avoid obesity and fat accumulation in the body.
