Omigift-20 Tablet 10's belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer (stomach or duodenal ulcer), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Normally, a thick layer of mucous protects the stomach against its own acid secretion. But, in the long run, it gets eroded by excessive stomach acid production, leading to complications like GERD, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Omigift-20 Tablet 10's contains omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor), which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme called H+/K+ ATPase (gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the stomach wall cells and is responsible for releasing gastric acid. Omigift-20 Tablet 10's prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms such as food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), acid reflux, or heartburn.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Omigift-20 Tablet 10's based on your medical condition.

These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Before taking Omigift-20 Tablet 10's, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or to other proton pump inhibitors. Also, tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, severe liver problems, difficulty swallowing, bloody or black stools, unexplained weight loss, or will have an endoscopy in the future. Omigift-20 Tablet 10's should not be given to patients suffering from Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea.

Omigift-20 Tablet 10's contains omeprazole, which works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid).
