Product Overview

About GASTROGARD

GASTROGARD is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient OMEPRAZOLE, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various gastrointestinal disorders. It is designed to reduce stomach acid production, providing relief from symptoms associated with acid reflux and ulcers.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation.
• Healing of duodenal ulcers and prevention of their recurrence.
• Treatment of gastric ulcers and prevention of their recurrence.

Active Ingredient & Action

OMEPRAZOLE works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. This action results in a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion, which helps to heal and prevent the recurrence of ulcers, and provides relief from symptoms associated with acid reflux.

Important Notes

It is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking GASTROGARD, especially if you have a history of kidney disease, liver disease, or are taking other medications. GASTROGARD may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, and may increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures.
