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 improved slightly, 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 bilaterally convex oval enteric-coated tablet, with "10mg" or "20mg" engraved on the second side. Each tablet contains enteric-coated microcapsules of magnesium omeprazole, with 10.3 mg and 20.6 mg respectively, equivalent to 10 mg and 20 mg of omeprazole. The 10 mg tablets are light pink, and the 20 mg tablets are light yellow.Dosage form features: 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!
