Gasec 20mg Gastrocaps utilize the active ingredient Omeprazole to provide physiological suppression of gastric acid secretion.1 This formulation is indicated for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and the prophylaxis of acid aspiration by specifically inhibiting the $H^+/K^+$-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell.

Dosage & Administration

• 1 capsule per day for symptomatic relief of reflux and ulcer healing.
• Administer orally at least 30 minutes prior to a meal, preferably in the morning.2
• Swallow whole with a full glass of water.3
• Do not crush or chew the gastro-resistant capsules; the enteric coating is essential to protect the active ingredient from gastric acid degradation.4
• 2 capsules per day may be required for severe cases or as part of a triple therapy regimen for H. pylori eradication.
