Description
Omeprazole, the active ingredient in Meprasil, works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining. By reducing the secretion of stomach acid, Meprasil helps alleviate symptoms associated with excessive acidity, such as heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers. It is prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat various acid-related conditions and promote healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.

Directions for Use:

1. Follow Prescribed Dosage: Take Meprasil as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on your specific condition and medical history.
2. Take Before a Meal: Meprasil is usually taken before a meal, with a full glass of water.
3. Swallow Whole: Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.
4. Inform Your Healthcare Provider: Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
5. Regular Use: Use Meprasil regularly to get the most benefit. Do not stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider.

• Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Consult with a healthcare professional before using Meprasil, especially if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, or are taking other medications, including anti-coagulants.
