Gastroloc Injection 40mg(Omeprazole) x1vial

Gastroloc 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
• Enables immediate treatment for patients unable to take oral medications
• 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
• Reduces risk of gastrointestinal bleeding

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.
