Gastroresistant capsules - 20 mg

Ulcozol capsules contain the active substance omeprazole. Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. Proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

Ulcozol is used for the treatment of the following diseases:

• acid reflux from stomach to oesophag, which causes pain, inflammation and burn (reflux oesophagitis and gastrooesophageal reflux disease)
• ulcers in the upper part of intestine (duodenal ulcers) or in stomach (gastric ulcers)
• if you have ever had NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) related ulcers, and you should continue taking NSAID, omeprazole may either treat ulcer or prevent it
• ulcers caused by infections from a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori
• excessive acidity in stomach which is caused by a syndrome called Zollinger-Ellison.
