What should I know before taking Omzole 20mg Capsule?
Do not take Omzole 20mg Capsule if you are taking a medicine containing atazanavir and nelfinavir (used for HIV infection). Inform your doctor if you have liver problems, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, black stools, unusual weight loss, trouble swallowing, stomach pain, or indigestion. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you're taking as they may interact with this medicine. Also, inform your doctor if you have had an allergic skin reaction to this medicine. Omzole 20mg Capsule is not recommended for children under 1 year of age or those weighing less than 10 kgs. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

For how long can I take Omzole 20mg Capsule?
Take Omzole 20mg Capsule for as long as your doctor advises. The duration of treatment may vary based on your condition. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Can Omzole 20mg Capsule cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Omzole 20mg Capsule can lead to osteoporosis due to decreased calcium absorption, resulting in calcium deficiency. This increases the risk of bone fractures on long-term use, such as hip, wrist, or spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids before starting therapy. Your doctor may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements to minimize this risk.
What are the long term side effects of Omzole 20mg Capsule?
Prolonged use (more than 3 months) may result in low magnesium levels, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, or irregular heartbeat. If used for more than a year, there is an increased risk of bone fractures (due to decreased calcium levels), stomach infections, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, causing feelings of tiredness, weakness, or paleness. Additionally, you may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, loss of appetite, flatulence, or nerve problems like numbness, tingling, and difficulty walking.
Does Omzole 20mg Capsule cause vitamin deficiencies?
It may lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. As vitamin B12 requires an acidic environment for absorption from the stomach, which is decreased by this medicine, you might need to take vitamin B12 supplements along with it. The clinical significance of decreased vitamin C levels is not known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Can Omzole 20mg Capsule be used in cardiac patients?
Cardiac patients can use Omzole 20mg Capsule as prescribed by their doctor. However, it may interact with certain drugs (e.g., clopidogrel, digoxin) which might be used by a patient with underlying cardiac disease. Patients taking these medicines together need to be monitored closely by a doctor.
