Ocid 20 Capsule -Strip of 20Tablet

Ocid 20 Capsule is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer (stomach or duodenal ulcer), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Normally, a thick layer of mucus protects the stomach against its own acid secretion. But, in the long run, it gets eroded by excessive stomach acid production, leading to complications like GERD, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Ocid 20 Capsule contains omeprazole, which prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.

Ocid 20 Capsule may cause common side effects like stomach pain, gas formation (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Before taking Ocid 20 Capsule , inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or to other proton pump inhibitors. Also, tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, severe liver problems, difficulty swallowing, bloody or black stools, unexplained weight loss, or if you will have an endoscopy in the future. Consult your doctor before taking Ocid 20 Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
