Description
What is Losec MUPS?
Excess stomach acid can cause a sense of discomfort in the stomach. Losec MUPS works fast to relieve symptoms of acid build-up. The medicine contains the active ingredient omeprazole that helps reduce pain and discomfort caused by heartburn and indigestion. The drug takes the form of a capsule or a multiple unit pellet system (MUPS). Because MUPS comes in small pellets, you can dissolve it in water or juice. It is an excellent option for people who have difficulty swallowing medicine but suffer from heartburn, indigestion or acid reflux.
How Does Losec MUPS Work?
Heartburn is common when eating some foods. However, other people suffer from acidity often. This condition is known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Losec MUPS is a protein pump inhibitor. It works by suppressing the activity of proton pumps, the proteins that produce acids in the stomach. This results in less acid, relieving patients of gas-like symptoms and acid reflux.
