Ocid 20 Capsule 20's

Question 1

How does Ocid 20 Capsule 20's works?

Accepted Answer

Ocid 20 Capsule 20's is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Proton pumps are enzymes in your stomach lining that help it make acid to digest food. Omeprazole prevents the proton pump from working properly. This reduces the amount of acid the stomach makes, relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Question 2

How can I manage my long term side effects?

Prolonged intake of Ocid 20 Capsule 20's may weaken your bone and lower haemoglobin level. Your doctor may prescribe you Vitamin B-12 for enhancing haemoglobin and calcium/vitamin D/magnesium supplements for bone health.

Question 3

What are the long term effects of Ocid 20 Capsule 20's?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged intake of Ocid 20 Capsule 20's may lead to atrophic gastritis (inflammation of stomach cells), Vitamin B12 deficiency and weakening of bones or osteoporosis (loss of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D). Your doctor may prescribe calcium, vitamin D or haemoglobin enhancing medications to cope with long term side effects.

Question 4

Does Ocid 20 Capsule 20's also treats stomach cancer?

Accepted Answer

No. Ocid 20 Capsule 20's is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Do not take Ocid 20 Capsule 20's until your doctor has prescribed you. Ocid 20 Capsule 20's is only indicated for the treatment of hyperacidity, acid reflux symptoms (GERD), heartburn and Zollinger Ellison syndrome.

Question 5

Are gas and acidity same thing?

Accepted Answer

No. Gas and acidity are two different common discomforts. Acidity is caused when improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) is located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of the food and drinks eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc. from the body.

Question 6

Yes. Ocid 20 Capsule 20's can alter certain medical tests like neuroendocrine tumours (secretin stimulation test), and urine screening tests for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So before undergoing such diagnostics test contact your doctor.

Question 7

Does Ocid 20 Capsule 20's treat gastric bleeding?

Accepted Answer

No. Ocid 20 Capsule 20's prevents excess production of stomach acid, causing acid reflux and heartburn. If blood is coming in your stool or mucous, immediately contact the doctor.
