Dr Reddy's Omeprazole capsules are used for the short-term relief of gastric reflux-like symptoms in sufferers aged 18 years and over. This can be caused by acid from the stomach escaping into the food pipe causing pain, inflammation and heartburn.
Dr Reddy's Omeprazole works by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach, giving relief from acid reflux symptoms. If you suffer from acid reflux more than once a week, Dr Reddy's Omeprazole may be right for you. However, if you have reflux every day you should see your doctor.
In most cases, Dr Reddy's Omeprazole capsules relieve symptoms rapidly, usually within 4 weeks.
