OMEP HEXAL 20 mg with the active ingredient omeprazole takes effect exactly where the symptoms arise: the heartburn remedy blocks the activity of the acid pumps in the gastric mucosa for a long time. This means that less acid gets into the esophagus and the painful burning sensation is stopped.

Stops the overproduction of stomach acid
Every third German suffers from heartburn. The burning pain occurs when corrosive stomach acid rises up into the esophagus. Heartburn usually occurs about 1 hour after eating, but can also cause severe symptoms at night. While conventional remedies often only provide short-term relief, the well-tolerated active ingredient omeprazole fights the cause of heartburn for a long time. The production of highly acidic gastric juice is inhibited, thus preventing symptoms.
