WHAT OMEPRAZOLE
GENERICHEALTH IS USED FOR
_PEPTIC ULCERS _
Omeprazole generichealth is
used to treat peptic ulcers and
also to help prevent them from
coming back.
These ulcers can be caused by
the stomach producing too much
acid. Depending on the location
of the ulcer it is called a gastric
or duodenal ulcer. A gastric
ulcer occurs in the stomach and
a duodenal ulcer occurs in the
tube leading out of the stomach,
also known as the duodenum.
_PEPTIC ULCERS ASSOCIATED _
_WITH HELICOBACTER PYLORI _
_INFECTION _
Most people with a peptic ulcer
have been found to have the
bacteria Helicobacter pylori in
their stomach. Omeprazole
generichealth taken together
with two antibiotics will kill the
bacteria and let your ulcer heal.
It is possible that the antibiotics
may not always kill Helicobacter
pylori.
_PEPTIC ULCERS ASSOCIATED _
_WITH NON-STEROIDAL _
_ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS _
_(NSAIDS) _
Some peptic ulcers are caused
by taking medicines known as
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs. These medicines are
commonly taken to treat arthritis
and other inflammatory
conditions.
Omeprazole generichealth can
be used to heal and prevent
ulcers associated with NSAIDs.
_REFLUX OESOPHAGITIS _
Omeprazole generichealth is
used to treat and prevent the
symptoms of reflux
oesophagitis. This condition is
caused by the washing back, or
reflux, of food and acid from the
stomach into the oesophagus.
Symptoms include a burnin
