Losec 10mg

Losec (Omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that can reduce suffering from ulcers and stomach acid problems. Losec is a daily medication that you can take orally to reduce the amount of acid that is created. That acid is what causes problems with ulcers and what leads to heartburn. When these issues aren’t treated there can be permanent damage to the stomach and to the esophagus.

This medication is also referred to as its generic name of Omeprazole, and it works very well for many people. Even if you haven’t had good results with other PPIs this one could be different for you. Do your best to follow the instructions and only take the dose your doctor recommended. It may be a process where they start out with a bit and then slowly increase it over time to give you the full benefit. Within a couple of weeks you should be able to notice you are producing less acid than before.

In cases where someone has an infection due to the ulcers, there is also an injectable form of Losec. It works very fast because it is administered right into the blood stream. However, this type of product is rarely given except for those with very severe health concerns. Never skip any dose even if you feel better because that can allow more acid to be created in the stomach.

Taking Losec with food will reduce the risk of feeling nauseated or vomiting after you have taken it. At first you may experience some headaches, dry mouth, or constipation with this medicine. As your body gets used to it though those side effects should completely diminish. If they linger make sure you tell your doctor about it.
