OMEE CHEW TABLET 12'S

How OMEE CHEW TABLET 12'S Works

• OMEE Chewable Tablets offer a multi-faceted approach to managing acidity and promoting digestive comfort. The primary active ingredient, calcium carbonate, acts as a rapid-acting antacid. Upon entering the stomach, calcium carbonate directly neutralizes hydrochloric acid (HCl), the acid responsible for the burning sensation associated with heartburn and acid indigestion. This neutralization reaction converts HCl into calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide, effectively reducing the acidity within the stomach. This provides quick, temporary relief from symptoms.
• Magnesium hydroxide, another key component of OMEE Chewable Tablets, also contributes to acid neutralization. Similar to calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide reacts with stomach acid to form magnesium chloride and water, further decreasing the overall acidity in the stomach. The inclusion of magnesium hydroxide helps to balance the potential constipating effect of calcium carbonate, promoting more regular bowel movements. It also offers a slightly different mechanism of action, ensuring a broader spectrum of acid neutralization.
• Beyond immediate acid neutralization, OMEE Chewable Tablets may also provide a protective barrier effect. The combination of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide can form a coating over the esophageal lining, protecting it from further irritation by stomach acid. This protective layer helps to soothe and prevent further damage to the esophagus, particularly beneficial for individuals with frequent heartburn or acid reflux. The chewable format of the tablet also encourages saliva production, which naturally helps to buffer stomach acid and aid in swallowing.
• Furthermore, the balanced formulation of calcium and magnesium helps to maintain electrolyte balance in the body, preventing potential imbalances that can occur with prolonged antacid use. While OMEE Chewable Tablets offer effective relief from occasional heartburn and acid indigestion, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for persistent or severe symptoms, as these may indicate an underlying medical condition. The chewable format makes it easy to take on the go and provides fast-acting relief when you need it most.

• Take Omee Chewable Tablets as directed by your doctor, usually 30-60 minutes before a meal. This timing helps the medication effectively reduce acid production stimulated by food, maximizing its benefit in controlling heartburn and acid reflux.
• Chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing. This helps in faster absorption of the medicine into your bloodstream, providing quicker relief from symptoms. If chewing is difficult, consult your doctor or pharmacist about alternative formulations of omeprazole.
• If you are taking Omee Chewable Tablets for an extended period, discuss potential risks like vitamin B12 deficiency or bone fractures with your doctor. Regular monitoring and appropriate supplementation can help mitigate these risks.
• Avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and large meals, especially close to bedtime. These substances can trigger acid reflux and heartburn, reducing the effectiveness of Omee Chewable Tablets. A balanced diet can also reduce the frequency of symptoms.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Omeprazole can interact with certain medications like blood thinners (warfarin) and antifungals (ketoconazole), affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Never adjust dosage of any medicines without consulting doctor.

• It is advisable to take OMEE CHEW TABLET 12'S on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal. This ensures optimal absorption of the medication. Avoid taking it immediately after food, as food can interfere with its effectiveness.
