What Are the Uses of Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg? - #15769
I’ve been experiencing acidity and burning sensations in my stomach for a while, and my doctor recommended Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg. I’ve heard of this medicine before, but I don’t fully understand how it works. Now I’m wondering—what are the uses of Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg, and when should it be taken? From what I understand, Omeprazole is an acid-controlling medication that reduces the production of stomach acid. But is it only used for acidity, or is it also prescribed for ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)? I also read that this medication may have side effects like headaches, constipation, or calcium deficiency if taken for a long time. Is it safe to take Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg daily, or should it only be used when needed? Since I prefer natural treatments, I looked into Ayurveda’s approach to acidity and stomach issues. Are there Ayurvedic remedies or herbal alternatives that work similarly to Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg? I found that Ajwain, fennel seeds, and Triphala are often recommended—do these actually help in controlling acidity naturally? For those who have taken Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg, what was your experience like? Did it help with acidity, or did you find natural methods more effective? I’d love to hear real experiences about the uses and effectiveness of Omeprazole Capsules IP 20 mg.
