About Omeprazole/Losec

Omeprazole capsules are a reliable treatment for stomach problems including heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. They ease these recurrent symptoms by suppressing the production of acid in the stomach for a period of up to 72 hours. These capsules are taken daily, and will take effect within one hour.

Stomach acid is necessary for the digestive process. They break down food before it reaches the intestines. Normally, the oesophagus is protected from these acids by a group of muscles called the esophageal sphincter. These muscles are meant to form a one-way barrier: food can enter the stomach but acids and other substances remain down. However, sometimes, this sphincter weakens under excess pressure. As a result, stomach acid passes this barrier and enters the oesophagus. This is acid reflux. Heartburn is the name for the painful sensation of acid irritating, or burning, the tissues of the oesophagus. It has nothing to do with the heart – it gets its name because the pain is felt at the base of the chest.

Many will experience occasional heartburn. However, some people suffer from these symptoms very frequently – this may be due to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).

Omeprazole is a prescription medicine for GORD and other similar stomach conditions. It works by suppressing the activity of proton pumps, the proteins which produce acids in the stomach. This decreases the amount of acid in the stomach, relieving the symptoms of heartburn. This effect can last for a period of up to 72 hours; your acid levels will return to their previous level three to five days after you stop taking the medication

Losec is an effective treatment for acid reflux and its related symptoms, which include; heartburn and indigestion. Finding the prescription product you need doesn't have to be a hassle. Take our questionnaire today to have your case reviewed by a registered practitioner.

Stomach acids play an essential role in the digestive process. They are responsible for breaking down food before it reaches the intestines. Normally, these acids are contained within the stomach by a group of muscles that make up the oesophageal sphincter. This sphincter acts as a one-way barrier, allowing food to pass down into the stomach, but not allowing acid or other substances to escape upwards. However, this sphincter can weaken if put under excess pressure, causing stomach acid to penetrate the sphincter and enter the oesophagus. This is what is known as acid reflux. Alternatively, heartburn is the term given to the painful sensation attributed to the refluxed acid irritating the tissue in the oesophagus. Heartburn does not relate to the heart, the term derives from sensation being felt at the base of the chest.

Acid reflux and heartburn is a common complaint, which will affect most people to some degree in their lives. However, for some, the condition can present more frequently – this is likely due to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Losec is a prescription-only-medicine used to treat GORD and other similar stomach conditions. Losec's active ingredient is omeprazole, which works to inhibit the activity of the proteins responsible for producing stomach acid. These proteins are called proton pumps.

Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). By decreasing the amount of stomach acid being produced, it is less likely that any acid will escape into the oesophagus. If you suffer from acid reflux, it is recommended to avoid lying down after eating. Also, consider sleeping on an incline to help limit the symptoms.

What is Losec Omeprazole?

Losec Omeprazole contains the active substance omeprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called "proton pump inhibitors". These medications work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

How does it work?

Omeprazole, a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, reduces gastric acid secretion through a highly selective mechanism of action. It is a specific proton pump inhibitor in the parietal cell. Acts quickly and produces control by reversibly inhibiting secretion stomach acid, with only one daily dose. Omeprazole is a weak base, which concentrates and passes into the active form in the medium acid from the intracellular canaliculi of the parietal cell, inhibiting in them the enzyme H + K + -ATPase, the proton pump. This effect, in the final step of the gastric acid formation process, is dose-dependent and provides highly effective inhibition of both basal acid secretion and stimulated acid secretion, regardless of stimulus.

What are the benefits of taking it?

Losec is used to treat the following diseases:

In adults:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this disorder, stomach acid passes into the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach), causing pain, inflammation, and burning. Ulcers in the upper part of the intestine (duodenal ulcer) or in the stomach (gastric ulcer).

Ulcers infected by a bacteria called ¿Helicobacter pylori¿. If you have this disease

How do I use it and its dosage?

Always use the Losec medication exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again. Your doctor will tell you how many capsules to take and for how long. This will depend on your condition and your age.

The recommended dose of Omeprazole Losec for adults is described below:

Treatment of GERD symptoms, such as burning and acid regurgitation:

If your doctor finds that you have mild damage to the esophagus, the recommended dose is 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. Your doctor may prescribe a 40 mg dose for another 8 weeks if the esophagus has not yet healed.

The recommended dose once the esophagus has healed is 10 mg once a day.

If there is no damage to the esophagus, the usual dose is 10 mg once a day.

Treatment of ulcers of the upper intestine (duodenal ulcer):

The recommended dose is 20 mg once a day for 2 weeks. Your doctor may prescribe the same dose for another 2 weeks if the ulcer has not yet healed.

If the ulcer does not fully heal, the dose may be increased to 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks.

Treatment of stomach ulcers (gastric ulcer):

The recommended dose is 20 mg once a day for 4 weeks. Your doctor may prescribe the same dose for another 4 weeks if the ulcer has not yet healed.

If the ulcer does not fully heal, the dose may be increased to 40 mg once daily for 8 weeks.

Prevention of recurrence of the stomach and duodenal ulcers:

The recommended dose is 10 mg or 20 mg once a day. Your doctor may increase the dose to 40 mg once a day.

Treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcers caused by NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs):

The recommended dose is 20 mg once a day for 4-8 weeks.

Prevention of stomach and duodenal ulcers during the administration of NSAIDs:

The recommended dose is 20 mg once a day.

Treatment of ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and prevention of their recurrence:

The recommended dose is 20 mg of Losec twice a day for one week.

Your doctor will also tell you to take two of the following antibiotics: amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole.

Treatment of excess acid in the stomach caused by a tumor in the pancreas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome):

The recommended dose is 60 mg a day.

Your doctor will adjust the dose depending on your needs and will also decide how long you have to take the medicine.

Use in children and adolescents

Treatment of GERD symptoms, such as burning and acid regurgitation

Children over one year of age weighing more than 10 kg can take Losec. Children's dose is based on body weight and the doctor will decide the correct dose.

Treatment of ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and prevention of their recurrence:

Children over the age of 4 can take Losec. Children's dose is based on body weight and the doctor will decide the correct dose. The doctor will also prescribe two antibiotics, amoxicillin and clarithromycin, to your child.

How to take this medicine

It is recommended to take the capsules in the morning. You can take your capsules with food or on an empty stomach. Swallow the capsules whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the capsules, as they contain coated granules that prevent the medicine from breaking down due to the action of stomach acid. It is important not to damage the granules.

Thank heaven for Pharmacy Planet

As usual, a quick and easy way to get exactly what you want really quickly. Had been prescribed Ventolin for years but regrettably my local pharmacy doesn’t stock it. I am exempt from prescription costs but I do not have a problem with paying for exactly what works for me.

Mrs M Higgins

I have never written an online review…

I rarely write online reviews but felt I needed to after so many negative reviews. I was skeptical about ordering from the UK (from USA) but I’m glad I took the chance. Ordered March 6th and just received my product today March18. Did not need a prescription so all these people saying you need a prescription probably have other health issues. Trust the process! Sadida was very prompt to respond (less than 30 mins each email) and the head pharmacist was also prompt and very polite. I absolutely recommend pharmacy planet!!

Sandra Whalley

Excellent, Beyond Impressed

First time using Pharmacy Planet and the experience was very impressive. Consultation, payment, dispatch and delivery all perfect and and within a very short length of time. I was finding tracking down my HRT brand that took me 2 years to find desperately stressful and didn’t want to change brands again after being settled finally. PP had stock and it was dispatched within days, thank you so much and I will definitely use again.

I purchased 2 Ventolin inhaler’s

I purchased 2 Ventolin inhaler’s. They arrived on time & I was very pleased with the price. My doctors surgery won’t give me Ventolin’s, the Salamol’s don’t work. This is a fantastic service.

What a marvellous find this company is

What a marvellous find this company is. I have asked my GP on numerous occasions to provide me with a specific inhaler which they never do. I found that Pharmacy Planet supply them so I started using them a few months ago. Always quick and easy to order with regular updates. I can’t rate them highly enough.

An excellent service

I am writing to say that ordering from this company was very straight forward. I completed the online questionnaire, made my order, the amount I needed to pay plus p/p was clearly stated. Delivery is a little slow so order as early as possible. I would particularly like to thank Sadida Islam who answered all my questions efficiently, pleasantly and with great patience. She is a credit to this company.

Mrs Grania King

Great service

They did everything they claimed to. Great prices and delivery time quoted was spot on. Will definitely use again, thank you for a prompt and efficient service.

Great Service

This is the first time I have used an online pharmaceutical company due to the long lead times for general non urgent appointments with the local GP. I was so impressed with the service from start to finish, the online assessment was easy to use and the review update process is very useful and was kept up to date constantly. My cream arrived just before my holiday as promised, I will certainly be recommending to my friends be using Pharmacy Planet again.
