Description

Description

Zolbi (40Mg) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) capsule containing Omeprazole, manufactured by Asian Continental. It works by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in the stomach’s parietal cells, significantly reducing gastric acid production. Each pack contains 14 capsules, providing effective, long-term relief from conditions caused by excessive stomach acid, such as GERD and peptic ulcers.

Ingredients

Each capsule contains 40mg of Omeprazole, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support capsule formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Zolbi is available as an oral capsule, taken by mouth with water. It should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, or broken.

Uses

Zolbi is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), benign gastric and duodenal ulcers, including those associated with H. pylori infection, and conditions of excess stomach acid production such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It also helps relieve persistent cough, difficulty swallowing, and heartburn linked to acid reflux.

How to Use

Take one capsule daily, preferably in the morning before a meal, or as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it. It can be taken with or without food. Relief from symptoms like heartburn may be noticed within a few days, though ulcer healing may take several weeks of consistent use.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, or dizziness. Less commonly, individuals may experience skin rash, dry mouth, or fatigue. Rare but serious effects can include interstitial nephritis or severe allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a serious reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor before using Zolbi if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as its use during these periods should be evaluated based on individual health needs.

Storage Instructions

Store Zolbi in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children, and do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
