Ozerol 40 Injection

Ozerol 40 Injection belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) primarily used to treat Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (overproduction of acid due to the pancreatic tumour). It may also be used for the treatment of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Ozerol 40 Injection contains omeprazole, which works by inhibiting the actions of the gastric proton pump which is responsible for gastric acid secretion. Ozerol 40 Injection inhibits stomach acid production and alleviates symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Ozerol 40 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. You may experience headache, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, flatulence, vomiting, nausea, and injection site reactions such as pain, itching, swelling or redness around the injection site. These side effects are temporary and may get resolved after some time; however, if these side effects persist or worsen, contact the doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Ozerol 40 Injection. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are breastfeeding. If you have pseudomembranous colitis, diarrhoea, osteoporosis, or magnesium imbalance, inform your doctor so that your doctor will weigh the benefits and any potential risks before prescribing Ozerol 40 Injection. Keep your doctor informed about your present and past medical history and ongoing medicines to rule out any side effects.

• Maintain a healthy weight by eating well.
• Avoid foods that can aggravate your symptoms, such as rich, spicy, and fatty foods, as well as acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, salad dressings, and fizzy drinks.
• Reduce your intake of caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, and cola.
• If you have symptoms at night, try not to eat for at least 3 hours before going to bed.
• Cut down the consumption of alcohol.
• Quitting smoking is the best strategy for avoiding many health complications.
• When you go to bed, raise your head and shoulders using a pillow to prevent stomach acid from flowing back.
• Avoid prolonged sitting because it can increase stomach acid production. Try to take a 5-minute break every hour by moderate walking or stretching.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which tumours form in the pancreas (organ present near the abdomen and produces enzymes for digestion) or duodenum (first section of the small intestine) and lead to an increase in the production of stomach acid. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Gastric/duodenal ulcer: It is a painful condition followed by the development of sores or ulcers in the duodenum or stomach lining.
