Adults::

or if you experience a worsening of symptoms, consult your doctor.

It might be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement of symptoms. Usually complete relief of heartburn is achieved within 7 days. If you experience complete relief of symptoms, discontinue treatment. If you are aged over 55 years with new or recently changed symptoms you should contact your doctor.


Taking this medicine

• It is recommended that you take your tablets in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach.


• Swallow your tablets whole with half a glass of water.


• Do not chew or crush the tablets. This is because the tablets contain coated pellets which stop the medicine from being broken down by the acid in your stomach. It is important not to damage the pellets. These micro-pellets contain the active substance omeprazole and are enteric coated which protects them from being broken down during passage through the stomach. The pellets release the active ingredient in the intestine, where it is absorbed by your body to give an effect.
