Product Details

Teph Insta 20 Capsules combine Omeprazole and Sodium Bicarbonate to effectively manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Omeprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor, works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ATPase) enzyme system, leading to reduced gastric acid secretion. Sodium Bicarbonate helps to neutralize stomach acid, providing additional relief. Together, these components work to alleviate the symptoms of GERD and prevent the recurrence of acid-related damage.

Purposes

Teph Insta 20 Capsules are prescribed for treating various conditions related to excessive stomach acid. They are used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), treat erosive reflux esophagitis, and provide long-term relief for patients with healed esophagitis. The combination of Omeprazole and Sodium Bicarbonate in Insta helps to control symptoms and prevent relapse, offering a comprehensive solution for managing acid-related gastrointestinal issues.

Warnings

Teph 20 Capsules should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastric malignancy, as symptomatic relief does not exclude the presence of such conditions. Prolonged use of Omeprazole may be associated with atrophic gastritis, a condition affecting the stomach lining. Sodium Bicarbonate should be avoided or used carefully in patients with Bartter's syndrome, hypokalemia, respiratory alkalosis, or those on a sodium-restricted diet due to potential complications.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Insta 20 Capsules include headaches, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, and flatulence. Less common effects may involve dizziness, paraesthesia, insomnia, and increased liver enzymes. Rare but serious side effects could include reversible mental confusion, hallucinations, gynecomastia, and severe allergic reactions. If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions

Use  20 Capsules with caution if you have a history of liver issues or are on medications that may interact with Omeprazole, such as rifampicin or St. John's Wort. Regular monitoring and consultation with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure the safe use of this medication, particularly if you have conditions affecting your acid-base balance or sodium levels. Always consult your physician before starting any new medication or if you have concerns about potential interactions.
