Temorel 20mg Capsule is a medication primarily used to manage conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. Its active ingredient, Omeprazole, belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Omeprazole works by irreversibly blocking the action of the proton pump in the stomach lining, which is responsible for secreting gastric acid. By reducing the amount of acid produced, Temorel 20mg Capsule helps to alleviate symptoms associated with acid-related disorders.
Indications for Temorel 20mg Capsule include the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and as part of a regimen to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection. It is also used for the prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers.
The typical dosage is one capsule (20mg) taken once daily, usually before a meal. However, the dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the specific condition being treated. Common side effects may include headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and constipation. Serious side effects are rare but can occur. It is important to store Temorel 20mg Capsule at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and out of reach of children.
