How to Order Prescriptions
Description
Omeprazole Delayed Release Capsules 10 mg are used in dogs and cats as directed by a licensed veterinarian to help reduce stomach acid production and support gastrointestinal health. Omeprazole belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by decreasing acid secretion in the stomach.
The delayed release capsule formulation helps protect the active ingredient until it reaches the digestive tract for absorption. Omeprazole is commonly recommended for pets experiencing acid-related digestive conditions, including stomach irritation, reflux, ulcer support, and other gastrointestinal concerns.
These easy-to-administer capsules may be used as part of a short-term or ongoing veterinarian-directed digestive care plan.
