Buy NowGastroloc Injection contains 40mg of omeprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed for intravenous administration. This formulation provides rapid and effective acid suppression for patients unable to take oral medications or requiring immediate acid reduction.
Uses
Gastroloc Injection is primarily indicated for:
- Treatment of acute peptic ulcer disease
- Management of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Prevention of stress-related mucosal damage in critically ill patients
- Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Management of bleeding peptic ulcers
- Facilitating healing in erosive esophagitis
Benefits
- Provides rapid acid suppression

- Offers consistent and predictable acid reduction
- Supports healing of gastrointestinal mucosal damage
- Prevents further complications from acid-related disorders
- Demonstrates high efficacy in critical care settings

How It Works
Omeprazole works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) in gastric parietal cells, dramatically reducing gastric acid production. This mechanism provides profound and long-lasting acid suppression, facilitating healing of acid-related conditions.
Duration of Action
Peak acid suppression occurs within 1-2 hours of administration. Therapeutic effects can last 24-72 hours, depending on individual patient factors and underlying condition.
