Omeflux Omeprazole 20mg 14 Capsules: Effective Acid Relief
Omeflux is a trusted brand of Omeprazole BP (20mg), a powerful proton pump inhibitor (PPI) manufactured in Nigeria by Me Cure Industries Limited. These gastro-resistant capsules are designed to provide sustained relief from excess stomach acid and help heal the digestive tract.
What is Omeflux Used For?
Omeflux 20mg capsules are indicated for:
- Heartburn and Acid Reflux: Provides relief for the "burning" sensation in the chest (GERD).
- Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers: Promotes the healing of ulcers in the stomach and upper intestine.
- H. pylori Eradication: Used as part of a "triple therapy" (often with Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin) to treat stomach infections locally known as "toilet infections" when referring to stomach discomfort.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Manages conditions where the stomach produces too much acid.
Omeflux vs. Omiflux: Important Distinction
Do not confuse Omeflux with Omiflux. While they sound similar, Omeflux contains only Omeprazole, whereas Omiflux is a combination of Omeprazole and Domperidone. Omeflux is specifically used for acid suppression.
How to Use Omeflux 20mg
- Appearance: The capsules have a distinctive maroon cap and light pink body.
- Dosage: Typically one capsule daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- Timing: Take the capsule on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast for the best results.
- Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush or chew it, as the enteric coating is essential for the medication to work properly in the intestines.
How long does Omeflux take to work?
You may feel some relief within 24 hours, but it usually takes 1 to 4 days to reach full effect. If you need "sharp relief" from immediate heartburn, you can consult a GoMed pharmacist about using an antacid alongside Omeflux.

- Pregnancy: Always consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before taking Omeprazole if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- NAFDAC Reg No: A4-0048.
