Frequently asked questions
Can you take Omzole Capsules safely with domperidone?
Yes, this medicine can be taken with domperidone without any harmful effects. A fixed-dose combination of these two medications is also available. Domperidone works by increasing gut motility, and Omzole Capsule decreases acid production in the stomach, making their combination very effective for treating reflux esophagitis associated with acidity, heartburn, intestinal, and stomach ulcers.
What are the precautions I should take before taking Omzole Capsules?
Do not take this medicine if you are on a medication containing atazanavir and nelfinavir (used for HIV infection). Inform your doctor about any liver problems, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, black stools (blood-stained stools), unusual weight loss, trouble swallowing, stomach pain or indigestion. Also, let your doctor know about all other medicines you are taking as they may affect or be affected by this medicine. If you have had an allergic skin reaction with this medicine before, inform your doctor about it. This medication should not be given to children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kgs. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.
Can Omzole Capsules cause diarrhea?
Yes, some people may experience diarrhea as a side effect of taking Omzole Capsules. If you have persistent watery stools along with stomach cramps and fever, seek medical help immediately.
How long should I take Omzole Capsules for?
Take the medication for as long as your doctor advises. The duration may vary depending on your condition. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first.
Can Omzole Capsules cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Yes, prolonged use of Omzole Capsules can lead to calcium deficiency, which increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures (such as hip, wrist, or spine fractures). If you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids, inform your doctor before starting therapy. They may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements to reduce this risk.
What long-term side effects can I expect from Omzole Capsules?
If used for more than 3 months, certain long-term side effects may occur. These include low magnesium levels in the blood, which can cause symptoms like tiredness, confusion, dizziness, or muscle twitches. Prolonged use (more than a year) increases the risk of bone fractures, stomach infections, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, causing feelings of weakness, tiredness, or paleness. Additionally, you may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, loss of appetite, flatulence (gas), or nerve problems like numbness, tingling, and difficulty walking.
Can Omzole Capsules cause vitamin deficiencies?
Yes, long-term use of Omzole Capsules may lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin B12 requires an acidic environment for absorption from the stomach, which is reduced by this medicine. You might need to take vitamin B12 supplements along with it. However, the clinical significance of decreased vitamin C levels is not known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Can I use Omzole Capsules if I have cardiac disease?
Yes, patients with cardiac disease can take this medicine as prescribed by their doctor. However, they should be monitored closely by a doctor as it may interact with certain medications (e.g., clopidogrel, digoxin) used for heart conditions.
