Q1. How does OMEPREN CAPSULE work? OMEPREN CAPSULE effectively lowers the amount of acid produced in the stomach by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump that resides on the lining of the digestive tract. This kind of action helps to reduce vomiting and promote the healing of damaged stomach tissue in ulcers.

Q2.Does OMEPREN CAPSULE cause constipation? Yes, OMEPREN CAPSULE may cause constipation in some individuals. To manage this effect, take fibre-rich foods in your diet such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereals and drink plenty of fluids. Exercise more regularly (such as daily walk) and stay active. Consult your doctor if the symptom does not improve.

OMEPREN CAPSULE should be used with caution in elderly patients (aged above 65 years) due to the increased risk of fractures, especially if used in higher doses and over long durations (>1 year).
