Key Information: ‣ Dosage Form: MUPS (Multiple Unit Pellet System) tablet ‣ Active Ingredients: Omeprazole 20mg ‣ Uses: Losec MUPS tablets are designed to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including heartburn and acid reflux. They are also used to treat stomach and duodenal ulcers, and in some cases, to prevent the return of ulcers. This formulation is especially effective for conditions requiring a reduction in acid production such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. ‣ Directions: Take one tablet daily, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, ideally in the morning before meals. Do not crush or chew the tablet as this may compromise the MUPS design, which is intended to protect the active ingredient from stomach acid, ensuring it reaches the intestine where it is absorbed. ‣ Warnings & Precautions: Consult with your healthcare provider before starting treatment if you have severe liver disease or are taking other medications, particularly those that may interact with omeprazole. Some side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. Seek medical attention if side effects are severe or persistent. If symptoms do not improve or worsen after 14 days, consult a healthcare provider.
