Pregnancy and lactation

Results of three prospective epidemiological studies (more than 1000 observations) showed that the use of omeprazole in pregnant women does not adversely affect the course of pregnancy and the health of the fetus / newborn. However, it is recommended that you consult a doctor before using the drug during pregnancy.

Omeprazole passes into breast milk. If necessary, the use of the drug during lactation should decide on the termination of breastfeeding.

Composition

1 capsule contains:

Active ingredient: omeprazol40 mg

Excipients: giproloza low substituted MCC lactose anhydrous sodium croscarmellose, povidone, polysorbate 80, hypromellose phthalate, dibutyl sebacate talc

Dosage and Administration

Inside, before meals.

Initial dose - 20 mg (2 capsules) 1 time per day. When the symptoms begin to disappear, the dose can be reduced to 10 mg per day and again increased to 20 mg once a day in case of repeated symptoms. You may need to take the drug for 3-4 days to achieve symptom relief.

The maximum daily dose should not exceed 20 mg.

The lowest effective dose should always be used. The maximum course of treatment is 14 days. The interval between 14-day courses of treatment without consulting a doctor should be at least 4 months.

If symptom relief is not observed within 2 weeks or worsens, you must consult your doctor.

The capsule should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of liquid. If the patient cannot swallow the Orthanol® capsule whole, you can dissolve its contents in a small amount of water or fruit juice (do not dissolve in carbonated drinks). The resulting solution of the drug should be drunk immediately after preparation, drinking an additional 1/2 cup of water.

Patients with impaired renal function: dose adjustment not required.

Patients with impaired liver function: consult with your doctor before use.

Elderly patients: although the metabolic rate of omeprazole in elderly people is reduced, dose adjustment when using the drug in a daily dose of 20 mg or less is not required.

Drug Interaction

Consult a physician before taking Ortanol® for treatment with one or more of the medicines listed in this section.

When co-administered with omeprazole, there may be an increase or decrease in the absorption of drugs whose bioavailability is largely determined by the acidity of gastric juice (including erlotinib, ketoconazole, itraconazole, iron and cyanocobalamin).

When administered with omeprazole, a significant decrease in the plasma concentration of atazanavir may be observed. Concomitant use is possible only for the doctor's appointment (correction of the dosage and regimens of atazanavir is performed if necessary).

Digoxin bioavailability when co-administered with omeprazole is increased by 10% (adjustment of digoxin dosing regimen may be required). Caution should be exercised when administering these drugs to elderly patients.

With the use of omeprazole with clopidogrel, a decrease in the antiplatelet effect of the latter is observed.

Increased plasma concentrations and increased T1 / 2 of warfarin, cilostazol, diazepam, phenytoin, as well as other drugs metabolized in the liver by CYP2C19 isoenzyme may be required when co-administered with omeprazole (may require dose reductions of these drugs).

Omeprazole, when co-administered, increases the plasma concentration of tacrolimus, which may require dose adjustment.

Increased plasma concentrations of saquinavir / ritonavir up to 70% are observed with omeprazole concomitant administration, while the tolerability of treatment with HIV patients is not impaired.

Co-administration with CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors (such as clarithromycin, voriconazole) may lead to increased plasma concentrations of omeprazole, which may require dose adjustment of omeprazole in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Inductors of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes (eg rifampicin, Hypericum perforatum Hypericum perforatum) can increase the metabolism of omeprazole, thereby reducing its plasma concentration. lidocaine, propranolol, metoprolol, ethanol.
