Description

Description

Teph 40mg is an Omeprazole capsule manufactured by Sami Pharmaceuticals. Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This higher strength is typically used when a stronger or more sustained reduction in stomach acid is needed. This pack contains 14 capsules.

Ingredients

Each capsule contains Omeprazole 40mg as the active ingredient, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients used to form the delayed-release capsule shell, which helps protect the active compound as it passes through the stomach.

Dosage & Form

Teph is available in oral capsule form, 40mg strength, packaged as 14 capsules per box. The typical adult dose is one capsule daily, usually taken before a meal, though duration and frequency can vary based on individual symptoms and the severity of acid-related discomfort. For persistent, severe, or recurring symptoms, or use beyond the short-term period indicated on the label, a doctor should be consulted before continuing.

Uses

Omeprazole 40mg is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, such as heartburn and acid reflux, particularly in cases where a lower strength has not provided adequate relief. It works by lowering acid production in the stomach lining, helping reduce the discomfort these symptoms cause.

How to Use

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water, generally 30–60 minutes before a meal. Do not crush or chew the capsule, as this may affect how the medicine is released and absorbed. Take at the same time each day for consistent results, and follow the duration mentioned on the pack unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Omeprazole well. Some may experience mild side effects such as headache, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or flatulence. Long-term or frequent use has been associated in some individuals with reduced absorption of certain nutrients. This is not a complete list — discontinue use and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before using Omeprazole, so that a suitable and safe recommendation can be given based on individual circumstances.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.
