What are the Ingredients in Omeprazole Delayed-Release 10mg Capsules?

The active ingredient is omeprazole, a member of the benzimidazole class of proton pump inhibitors. It works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme, which reduces stomach acid production. The delayed-release coating prevents premature breakdown in the stomach, ensuring the drug is absorbed where it’s most effective—in the intestine.

FAQs - Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules for Gastric Ulcers

What is Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules used for?

Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules are used to treat and prevent gastric ulcers, reduce acid reflux, manage Helicobacter infections, and protect against NSAID-induced gastric erosions in dogs and cats. The medication works by reducing stomach acid production, promoting healing and alleviating discomfort caused by gastrointestinal issues.

How do Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules compare to other acid reducers for pets?

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that provides long-lasting acid suppression by targeting acid production at its source. Compared to antacids or H2 blockers, it offers more sustained relief and better protection for pets with chronic conditions like ulcers or gastritis.

Can Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules be used for acid reflux in pets?

Yes, Omeprazole is effective in managing acid reflux by reducing stomach acid production, which helps prevent the backflow of acid into the esophagus. It also alleviates associated symptoms like discomfort, regurgitation, and irritation.

Are Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules safe for puppies and kittens?

Omeprazole can be prescribed for puppies and kittens, but dosage adjustments are necessary based on their size and weight. Always consult your veterinarian before administering this medication to young animals to ensure safety and efficacy.

How should I administer Omeprazole if my pet refuses capsules?

If your pet struggles with swallowing capsules, consult your vet for guidance. Some pets may tolerate the capsule hidden in food, but opening capsules is discouraged as it disrupts the delayed-release mechanism. Liquid formulations may also be an option.

Can Omeprazole be used to treat vomiting caused by stomach acid in pets?

Yes, Omeprazole can reduce vomiting caused by excessive stomach acid. By suppressing acid production, it helps minimize irritation and inflammation in the stomach lining, reducing the likelihood of acid-related vomiting.

How long can pets stay on Omeprazole Delayed-Release 10mg Capsules?

Pets can stay on Omeprazole long-term if necessary, particularly for chronic conditions. However, prolonged use should be monitored by a veterinarian to assess efficacy, adjust dosages, and minimize any potential side effects.

Does Omeprazole interact with pet food or dietary supplements?

Omeprazole works best on an empty stomach, so timing meals and supplements around the medication is essential. Some supplements or highly alkaline foods may interfere with absorption. Always discuss dietary considerations with your vet.

Can Omeprazole Delayed-Release 10mg Capsules treat other digestive issues in pets?

While primarily used for acid-related conditions, Omeprazole can help alleviate symptoms related to chronic gastritis or irritation caused by other digestive disorders. Its use for non-ulcer conditions should be determined by a veterinarian.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Omeprazole for my pet?

If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to the time for the next dose. Do not double up to make up for the missed dose. Maintaining consistent timing helps ensure the medication's effectiveness.
