Xelopes Capsule 40 mg contains Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. It works by reducing the production of stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and epigastric pain. This higher-strength formulation is typically prescribed for more severe or resistant acid-related conditions under medical supervision.

Indications

Xelopes Capsule 40 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Severe erosive esophagitis
• Peptic ulcer disease (gastric and duodenal ulcers)
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
• Prevention and treatment of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers
• Chronic acid-related dyspepsia and gastritis

Mechanism of Action

Omeprazole selectively inhibits the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells. This blocks the final step of gastric acid secretion, resulting in a significant and prolonged reduction in stomach acid levels. This helps relieve symptoms and allows healing of damaged gastrointestinal mucosa.
