Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to the active substance, substituted benzimidazoles or to any of the excipients of the drug.

Omeprazole, like other PPIs, should not be used concomitantly with nelfinavir.

Method of application

For patients for whom oral administration is unacceptable, omeprazole 40 mg once daily intravenously is recommended. For patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the recommended starting dose of the drug administered intravenously is 60 mg per day. Higher daily doses may be required, so the dose should be selected individually. If the dose exceeds 60 mg per day, it should be divided into two equal doses and administered 2 times a day.

Application features

In the presence of any alarming symptom (e.g. significant weight loss not due to diet; frequent vomiting; dysphagia; vomiting with blood or melena) and in the presence of diagnosed or suspected gastric ulcer, malignant disease should be excluded, since taking the drug may mask its symptoms and delay the establishment of the correct diagnosis.

Pregnant women

Omeprazole can be used during pregnancy.

Children

Experience with the use of the drug for intravenous administration in pediatric practice is limited, therefore the drug should not be prescribed to this category of patients.
