Medicines have benefits and some have risks. Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist or you have side effects see your health professional. Brands and generics both contain the same active ingredient(s) and are medically equivalent. Some brands are marketed under different names by the same manufacturer depending on the country of origin. Images are provided as a reference only, the received medicine may vary in packaging, color, pill shape, etc, from one batch to the next. For an item marked "generic" any quality brand may be sent, however you will always receive the active ingredients ordered in the strength(s) ordered.
Losec Tablets are for the short-term symptomatic relief of reflux-like symptoms - heartburn or acid-reflux. Heartburn is an acidic or burning feeling, rising up from the stomach towards the throat. The pain of heartburn, which usually associated with acid regurgitation (reflux), can be caused or made worse by eating large meals, bending over or lying flat, and by hot, alcoholic or acidic drinks such as orange juice.
Losec works by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach, giving relief from acid reflux symptoms.
If you suffer from acid reflux more than once a week, Losec may be right for you. However, if you have reflux every day you should see your doctor or pharmacist. The symptoms below are not usually signs of acid reflux:
- Cardiac-type chest pain - often felt as a pressure or squeezing in the chest with shortness of breath and pain that may extend into the shoulders, arms or up toward the back or neck.
- Abdominal pain or discomfort.
- Nausea, belching or bloating.
- Sore throat or cough.
DIRECTIONS: Take 2 tablets once daily until symptoms improve, then reduce the dose to 1 tablet once daily. If symptoms return, the dose may be increased to 2 tablets once daily. Use the lowest dose that controls your symptoms. Use should not be prolonged except on medical advice.
PRECAUTIONS: Do not use Losec if you have an allergy to any medicine containing omeprazole, pantoprazole or lansoprazole, or any of the ingredients listed in Losec. Please read the enclosed pack insert carefully before using Losec.
