Reflux is the reflux of acid from the stomach to the esophagus, which can become inflamed and painful.\u00a0This can cause symptoms such as a painful burning sensation in the chest that rises towards the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).\u00a0It may be necessary to take the capsules for 2-3 days in a row to achieve symptom relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omeprazole contained in Omeprazole Abece may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
