Uses of Oskar-20
Treatment of Stomach ulcers Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux) Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease Management of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Benefits of Oskar-20
- In Acidity
- Oskar-20 switches off the pumps in the stomach lining that make acid, so there is far less acid to cause burning and discomfort.
- In Acid reflux
- Oskar-20 reduces the acid that rises into the food pipe, relieving heartburn and giving an inflamed food pipe time to heal.
- In Stomach ulcer
- Oskar-20 lowers stomach acid enough for an ulcer to heal and, with antibiotics when needed, helps clear the infection behind it.
- In Heartburn
- Oskar-20 prevents the burning behind the breastbone that comes after meals or at night, so you can eat and sleep comfortably.
How Oskar-20 works
Oskar 20mg Capsule works by specifically blocking an enzyme system known as the “acid pump” in the stomach lining. This enzyme is responsible for the final step in the production of gastric acid. Inhibiting this pump reduces both the volume and acidity of stomach secretions, providing lasting acid suppression and promoting healing of acid-related conditions such as ulcers and reflux disease.
How to take Oskar-20
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Oskar 20mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Warnings and precautions
Take it on an empty stomach, about half an hour to an hour before your first meal — this is when the acid pumps are most active and the medicine works best. Long-term use has been linked to low magnesium and low vitamin B12, and to a higher risk of bone fracture. Review the need with your doctor rather than continuing indefinitely. Tell your doctor if acidity comes with difficulty swallowing, vomiting, weight loss, or black stools — these need investigation, not a longer course. Do not stop a long course abruptly; acid can rebound. Your doctor will taper it.
