20 mg enteric capsules, hard
omeprazole<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omezyl contains the active substance omeprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called “proton pump inhibitors”. These work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omezyl is used to treat the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adults:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children over 1 year and \u2265 10 kg:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children and adolescents over 4 years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omeprazole contained in Omezyl may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Omezyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omezyl can mask the symptoms of other diseases. Therefore, if any of the following occur before you start taking Omezyl or while you are taking Omezyl, talk to your doctor immediately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you get a rash, especially in areas exposed to the sun, tell your doctor as soon as possible as you may need to stop treatment with Omezyl.\u00a0Also remember to mention any other\u00a0side effects, such as joint pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are taking Omezyl for a long time (over a year), your doctor will probably check you regularly. You should discuss any new or unusual symptoms and circumstances with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using\u00a0proton pump inhibitors\u00a0such as Omezyl and especially if you use Omezyl for more than a year, may increase the risk of having a hip, wrist, or vertebral fracture (bone fracture).\u00a0Tell your doctor if you have osteoporosis\u00a0or\u00a0if you are taking medicines called\u00a0corticosteroids\u00a0as they may increase the risk of osteoporosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.\u00a0This is because Omezyl can affect the way other medicines work and other medicines can affect the effect of Omezyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not take Omezyl if you are also taking medicines containing nelfinavir<\/strong> (used to treat HIV infection ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your doctor has prescribed\u00a0antibiotics, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, in combination with Omezyl for the treatment of\u00a0stomach ulcers\u00a0caused by\u00a0Helicobacter pylori\u00a0infection,<\/em>\u00a0you must tell your doctor if you are also taking other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should preferably take the capsules without food. They should NOT be chewed or crushed. They should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omeprazole passes into breast milk, but it is unlikely that the baby will be affected at the recommended\u00a0dose.\u00a0Your doctor will decide if you can take Omezyl if you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omezyl is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or handle tools or machines. Side effects such as dizziness and visual disturbances may occur (see section 4). If you are affected by these symptoms, you should not drive or operate machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) sodium per capsule, ie essentially ‘sodium-free’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor will tell you how many capsules to take and how long to take them. Dosage one depends on your condition and how old you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recommended dose is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of GERD symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of duodenal<\/strong> ulcers<\/strong> ( duodenal ulcers )<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of ulcers in the stomach<\/strong> ( gastric ulcer ):<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent recurrence of duodenal and gastric ulcers<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of gastric ulcers caused by NSAIDs<\/strong> (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs):<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent duodenal and gastric ulcers<\/strong> if you are taking NSAIDs<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of wounds caused by Helicobacter pylori<\/em><\/strong> infection and to prevent recurrence of wounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of excess acid in the stomach caused by a tumor<\/strong> of the pancreas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)<\/strong> :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of GERD symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of wounds caused by Helicobacter pylori<\/em><\/strong> infection and to prevent recurrence of wounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking the medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Omezyl is only available in strength 20 mg and the capsules are not divisible, not all dosages are possible. If you need another medicine, your doctor will prescribe another omeprazole medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you can do if you or your child have difficulty swallowing the capsules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to take a\u00a0dose\u00a0, take it as soon as you notice it.\u00a0If it is near the time of the next\u00a0dose, skip the missed\u00a0dose.\u00a0Do not take a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a forgotten\u00a0dose\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not stop taking Omezyl without first consulting your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop taking Omezyl and contact your doctor immediately, if you notice any of the following unusual but serious side effects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Other side effects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common side effects ( <\/strong>may <\/strong>affect up to 1 in 10 people)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon <\/strong> side effects<\/strong> ( may <\/strong>affect <\/strong>up to 1 in 100 people)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Very rare side effects ( <\/strong>may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported (occurs in an unknown number of users)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Omezyl can in very rare cases affect the white\u00a0blood cells\u00a0so that the immune system is weakened.\u00a0If you get an\u00a0infection\u00a0with symptoms such as fever and\u00a0severe<\/strong>\u00a0general malaise or fever with symptoms of local\u00a0infection\u00a0such as pain in the neck, throat, or mouth or difficulty urinating, you must contact a doctor as soon as possible so that any lack of\u00a0white blood cells\u00a0(\u00a0agranulocytosis\u00a0) can be excluded by a blood test.\u00a0It is important that you then information about your medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omezyl 20 mg capsules are opaque, white, hard gelatin capsules labeled \u201cOM 20\u201d, containing round granules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White HDPE cans with safety-sealed lid and desiccant containing 14, 28, 90, or 100 capsules<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al \/ Al blister: 14 or 28 capsules<\/p>\n\n\n\n PVC-PVDC \/ Al blister: 14, 28, 30 or 100 capsules<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all pack sizes may be marketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marketing Authorisation Holder<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mylan AB<\/p>\n\n\n\n Box 23033<\/p>\n\n\n\n 104 35 Stockholm<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Towa Pharmaceutical Europe SL<\/p>\n\n\n\n C \/ de Sant Marti, 75-97<\/p>\n\n\n\n Martorelles, 08107 Barcelona<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Omezyl contains the active substance omeprazole.
