Patient's question:
Recurring episodes of nausea for about 2-3 years. About the previous treatment and effectiveness: After a thorough examination at the hospital recently, the condition has slightly improved, but there is still the phenomenon of nausea when eating. The doctor asked me to buy Losec for him to take. How to know about this medication...Doctor's answer:
This product is a double-sided oval enteric-coated tablet, with "10mg" or "20mg" printed on the second side. Each tablet contains 10.3 mg and 20.6 mg of magnesium omeprazole, respectively, in the form of enteric-coated microcapsules, equivalent to 10 mg and 20 mg of omeprazole. 10 mg tablets are light pink, and 20 mg tablets are light yellow.Characteristics of the dosage form: Omeprazole is unstable in acidic environments, so the oral dosage form is composed of individual enteric-coated microcapsules. The enteric-coated microcapsules are very small, and each 20 mg oral tablet contains approximately 1000 enteric-coated microcapsules.
Recommendation: Pay attention to distinguishing between them, as they should be easy to differentiate. It is safer to purchase from large pharmacies!
