Product Overview:
GoodSense Omeprazole Tablets 20 mg are an effective over-the-counter medication designed to treat frequent heartburn. Omeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This makes it a reliable option for those who suffer from frequent heartburn and acid-related issues.
Key Features:
- Active Ingredient:
- Each tablet contains 20 mg of Omeprazole, the same active ingredient found in leading heartburn medications. It is clinically proven to relieve symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid.
- Omeprazole is formulated to treat frequent heartburn that occurs two or more days a week. While it is not intended for immediate relief, it can significantly reduce heartburn episodes when taken consistently over a 14-day course.
- These tablets are designed as delayed-release, meaning the medication is gradually released into the system, providing extended relief from heartburn symptoms throughout the day.
- GoodSense Omeprazole Tablets are intended to be used as part of a 14-day course of treatment. This structured regimen helps to ensure maximum efficacy and long-lasting relief from frequent heartburn.
- GoodSense Omeprazole offers the same relief as more expensive name-brand counterparts, making it a cost-effective choice for individuals seeking quality heartburn treatment.
Indications:
- GoodSense Omeprazole Tablets are indicated for the treatment of frequent heartburn (occurring two or more days a week). It is not intended for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms but is effective for ongoing management.
