✔ Used to treat Acid Reflux & Heartburn
✔ Fast and highly effective inhibition of stomach acid secretion
✔ Simple daily dosing provides up to 24 hours of relief
✔ Average reduction in gastric acidity of 70-80%
✔ Rapid absorption and relief of symptoms
Losec MUPS contains the active ingredient Omeprazole which belongs to a group of medicines called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) that reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach by blocking the ‘proton pump’ of parietal cells in the lining of the stomach. This targeted mechanism of action on the final step of acid formation provides for highly effective results.
PPIs are widely used for the treatment of acid reflux, heartburn and indigestion. They can also be used to help prevent ulcers from forming or to assist healing in cases where ulcer formation has already occurred. PPIs can be given in combination with appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (a type of bacteria that can cause ulcers in the lining of the stomach by weakening the protective mucus coating of the stomach). PPIs are sometimes taken for a rare illness called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in which the stomach produces too much acid due to a tumour in the pancreas or upper part of the small intestine.
It is recommended that you take Losec MUPS in the morning although it can be taken at any time of the day. You can take Losec MUPS with food or on an empty stomach, however, taking it before food is preferable.
Tablets should be swallowed whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablets.
Losec MUPS tablets contain specially designed enteric coated pellets. The pellets prevent degradation from stomach acid and help ensure that the medicine is absorbed correctly by your body.
Patients with swallowing difficulties can break the tablet and disperse it in a spoonful of non-carbonated water and if so wished, mix with some fruit juices or applesauce. Patients should be advised that the dispersion should be taken immediately (or within 30 minutes) and always be stirred just before drinking and rinsed down with half a glass of water. DO NOT USE milk or carbonated water. The enteric-coated pellets must not be chewed. Please refer to the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) supplied with your prescribed medication for more detailed instructions.
If you accidently take more Losec MUPS than prescribed, it is very unlikely to cause any problems. However, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist straight away if you have taken too many and have any of the following symptoms: flushed skin, feeling sweaty, a fast heartbeat, feeling sleepy, blurred vision, feeling confused or agitated.
If you forget to take a dose at your usual time, you can take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side effects although not everyone experiences them. The unwanted effects often improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine, but please speak with your doctor or pharmacist if they continue or become troublesome.
Below is a list of the most common and the most serious side effects associated with Losec MUPS. You will find a full list of possible side effects in the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) supplied with your medicine.

Warnings & Precautions
Losec MUPS may hide the symptoms of other diseases. Therefore, if any of the following happen to you before you start taking Losec MUPS or whilst you are taking it, talk to your doctor straightaway:
Taking a proton pump inhibitor like Losec MUPS, especially over a period of more than one year, may slightly increase your risk of fracture in the hip, wrist or spine. Tell the prescriber if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).
If you get a rash on your skin, especially in areas exposed to the sun tell your doctor as soon as you can as you may need to stop your treatment with Losec MUPS. Remember to also mention any other ill-effects like pain in your joints.
When taking Omeprazole, inflammation in your kidneys may rarely occur. Signs and symptoms include decreased volume of urine or blood in your urine and/or hypersensitivity reactions such as fever, rash, and joint stiffness. You should report any such signs to your GP.
If you take Losec MUPS for more than three months, it is possible that the levels of magnesium in your blood may fall. Low levels of magnesium can cause fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, disorientation, convulsions, dizziness, and increased heart rate. If you get any of these symptoms, please tell your doctor promptly. Low levels of magnesium can also lead to a reduction in potassium or calcium levels in the blood. Your doctor may decide to perform regular blood tests to monitor your levels of magnesium.
As with all acid reducing agents, Losec MUPS may lead to a reduced absorption of Vitamin B12.
Tell your doctor before taking this medicine if you are due to have a specific blood test (Chromogranin A).
Driving and using machinery
Losec MUPS is not likely to affect your ability to drive or use any tools or machines. If side effects such as dizziness and visual disturbances occur, you should not drive or operate machinery.
