Is it better to take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules before meals or after meals?

Patient's question:

For gastric ulcer and esophagitis, take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, 20mg, multiple times a day. Is it better to take them before or after meals?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the condition is severe, it can be taken twice a day, before meals. Pay attention to a proper diet, a balance of meat and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more plain water, and have regular follow-up check-ups. Discomfort should be followed up. Peptic ulcer is a disease that is not easily fully cured. Friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in fighting the ulcer and believe that recovery is certain.
