Omepal-20 indications
Duodenal Ulcer (adults)
Omepal-20 is indicated for short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer in adults. Most patients heal within four weeks. Some patients may require an additional four weeks of therapy.
Omepal-20 in combination with clarithromycin and amoxicillin, is indicated for treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or up to 1-year history) to eradicate H. pylori in adults.
Omepal-20 in combination with clarithromycin is indicated for treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease to eradicate H. pylori in adults.
Eradication of H. pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence.
Among patients who fail therapy, Omepal-20 with clarithromycin is more likely to be associated with the development of clarithromycin resistance as compared with triple therapy. In patients who fail therapy, susceptibility testing should be done. If resistance to clarithromycin is demonstrated or susceptibility testing is not possible, alternative antimicrobial therapy should be instituted, and the clarithromycin package insert, Microbiology section.
Gastric Ulcer (Adults)
Omepal-20 is indicated for short-term treatment (4-8 weeks) of active benign gastric ulcer in adults.
Treatment Of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (Adults and Pediatric Patients)
Symptomatic GERD
Omepal-20 is indicated for the treatment of heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD in pediatric patients and adults for up to 4 weeks.
Erosive Esophagitis
Omepal-20 is indicated for the short-term treatment (4-8 weeks) of erosive esophagitis that has been diagnosed by endoscopy in pediatric patients and adults.
The efficacy of Omepal-20 used for longer than 8 weeks in these patients has not been established. If a patient does not respond to 8 weeks of treatment, an additional 4 weeks of treatment may be given. If there is recurrence of erosive esophagitis or GERD symptoms (eg, heartburn), additional 4-8 week courses of Omepal-20 may be considered.

Off Label Uses
Aspiration prophylaxis in patients undergoing anesthesia
Data from several studies of varying methodologies (including randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group trials) and a meta-analysis support the use of Omepal-20 for the prevention of aspiration in patients undergoing anesthesia. Studies were conducted in the elective surgery setting, including scheduled cesarean deliveries.
Based on the Surviving Sepsis Campaign international guidelines for the management of severe sepsis and septic shock, stress ulcer prophylaxis using a PPI is an effective and recommended option in select critically ill patients with GI bleeding risk factors.
Omepal-20 description
The active ingredient in Omepal-20 is a substituted benzimidazole. (RS)-5-methoxy-2(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridylmethylsulphinyl) benzimidazole, a compound that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its empirical formula is C17H19N3O3S, with a molecular weight of 345.42. Omepal-20 is a white to off-white crystalline powder which melts with decomposition at about 155°C. It is a weak base, freely soluble in ethanol and methanol, and slightly soluble in acetone and isopropanol and very slightly soluble in water. The stability of Omepal-20 is a function of pH; it is rapidly degraded in acid media, but has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions.
Omepal-20 is a proton pump inhibitor. It inhibits secretion of gastric acid by irreversibly blocking the enzyme system of hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase), the "proton pump" of the gastric parietal cell. It is used in conditions where inhibition of gastric acid secretion may be beneficial, including aspiration syndromes, dyspepsia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease and the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Omepal-20 dosage
Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsules should be taken before eating. In the clinical trials, antacids were used concomitantly with Omepal-20.
Patients should be informed that the Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsule should be swallowed whole.
For patients unable to swallow an intact capsule, alternative administration options are available.
Short-Term Treatment Of Active Duodenal Ulcer
The recommended adult oral dose of Omepal-20 is 20 mg once daily. Most patients heal within four weeks. Some patients may require an additional four weeks of therapy.
H. pylori Eradication For The Reduction Of The Risk Of Duodenal Ulcer Recurrence
Triple Therapy (Omepal-20/clarithromycin/amoxicillin)
The recommended adult oral regimen is Omepal-20 20 mg plus clarithromycin 500 mg plus amoxicillin 1000 mg each given twice daily for 10 days. In patients with an ulcer present at the time of initiation of therapy, an additional 18 days of Omepal-20 20 mg once daily is recommended for ulcer healing and symptom relief.
Dual Therapy (Omepal-20/clarithromycin)
The recommended adult oral regimen is Omepal-20 40 mg once daily plus clarithromycin 500 mg three times daily for 14 days. In patients with an ulcer present at the time of initiation of therapy, an additional 14 days of Omepal-20 20 mg once daily is recommended for ulcer healing and symptom relief.
Gastric Ulcer
The recommended adult oral dose is 40 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
The recommended adult oral dose for the treatment of patients with symptomatic GERD and no esophageal lesions is 20 mg daily for up to 4 weeks. The recommended adult oral dose for the treatment of patients with erosive esophagitis and accompanying symptoms due to GERD is 20 mg daily for 4 to 8 weeks.
Maintenance Of Healing Of Erosive Esophagitis
The recommended adult oral dose is 20 mg daily. Controlled studies do not extend beyond 12 months.
Pathological Hypersecretory Conditions
The dosage of Omepal-20 in patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions varies with the individual patient. The recommended adult oral starting dose is 60 mg once daily. Doses should be adjusted to individual patient needs and should continue for as long as clinically indicated. Doses up to 120 mg three times daily have been administered. Daily dosages of greater than 80 mg should be administered in divided doses. Some patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome have been treated continuously with Omepal-20 for more than 5 years.
Pediatric Patients
For the treatment of GERD and maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, the recommended daily dose for pediatric patients 1 to 16 years of age is as follows:
| Patient Weight | Omepal-20 Daily Dose |
| 5 < 10 kg | 5 mg |
| 10 < 20 kg | 10 mg |
| ≥ 20 kg | 20 mg |
On a per kg basis, the doses of Omepal-20 required to heal erosive esophagitis in pediatric patients are greater than those for adults.
Alternative administrative options can be used for pediatric patients unable to swallow an intact capsule.
Alternative Administration Options
Omepal-20 is available as a delayed-release capsule or as a delayed-release oral suspension.
For patients who have difficulty swallowing capsules, the contents of a Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsule can be added to applesauce.
One tablespoon of applesauce should be added to an empty bowl and the capsule should be opened. All of the pellets inside the capsule should be carefully emptied on the applesauce. The pellets should be mixed with the applesauce and then swallowed immediately with a glass of cool water to ensure complete swallowing of the pellets. The applesauce used should not be hot and should be soft enough to be swallowed without chewing. The pellets should not be chewed or crushed. The pellets/applesauce mixture should not be stored for future use.
Omepal-20 For Delayed-Release
Oral Suspension should be administered as follows:
- Empty the contents of a 2.5 mg packet into a container containing 5 mL of water.
- Empty the contents of a 10 mg packet into a container containing 15 mL of water.
- Stir
- Leave 2 to 3 minutes to thicken.
- Stir and drink within 30 minutes.

Omepal-20 interactions

What other drugs will affect Omepal-20?
Effects of Omepal-20 on the Pharmacokinetics of Other Drugs: The following combination with Omepal-20 should be avoided: Ketoconazole and itraconazole.
Omepal-20 might influence the absorption of other drugs due to its effect on the gastric pH. The dissolution of ketoconazole tablets in the stomach is adversely affected if the pH of the gastric juice increases as a result of drug treatment (antacids, secretion-inhibiting agents, sucralfate). This leads to ineffective plasma concentrations of ketoconazole. During concomitant administration of Omepal-20 and itraconazole, the plasma concentration and area under the curve (AUC) of itraconazole are reduced by approximately 65%, probably as a result of poorer absorption, which is dependent on pH.
Omepal-20 inhibits the enzyme CYP2C19 and therefore, increased plasma levels of other drugs (diazepam, warfarin, phenytoin) metabolized via this enzyme might be expected. Monitoring is recommended during initiation or withdrawal of Omepal-20 in patients being treated with phenytoin, warfarin or other vitamin K antagonist.
During concomitant administration of clarithromycin or erythromycin and Omepal-20, the plasma concentrations of Omepal-20 were increased. The plasma concentrations of Omepal-20 are not influenced during concomitant administration with amoxicillin or metronidazole.
Concomitant administration of Omepal-20 (40 mg once daily) and atazanavir 300 mg/ritonavir 100 mg to healthy volunteers resulted in a marked reduction in total atazanavir exposure (approximately 75% reduction of AUC, Cmax and Cmin). An increase in the atazanavir dose to 400 mg did not compensate for the effect that Omepal-20 had on atazanavir exposure. Proton pump inhibitors including Omepal-20 should therefore not be administered concomitantly with atazanavir.
Concomitant administration of Omepal-20 and tacrolimus may increase the serum levels of tacrolimus. Monitoring of the plasma tacrolimus concentration is recommended when treatment with Omepal-20 is being initiated or discontinued. Omepal-20 (40 mg daily) increased the Cmax and AUC of voriconazole (CYP2C19 substrate) by 15% and 41%, respectively.
Effects of Other Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Omepal-20: Drugs inhibiting the enzymes CYP2C19 or CYP3A (HIV protease inhibitors, ketoconazole, itraconazole) might increase the plasma concentrations of Omepal-20. Voriconazole increases the AUC of Omepal-20 by 280%. In cases of concomitant treatment, an adjustment of the Omepal-20 dose should be considered for patients with considerable impaired hepatic function and in cases of long-term treatment.
Case reports, published population pharmacokinetic studies and retrospective analyses suggest that concomitant administration of PPIs and methotrexate (primarily at high doses) may elevate and prolong serum levels of methotrexate and/or its metabolite hydroxymethotrexate. However, no formal drug interaction studies of methotrexate with PPIs have been conducted.
No interactions between Omepal-20 and antacids, theophylline, caffeine, quinidine, lidocaine, propranolol, metoprolol or ethanol have been detected.

Clinical Trials Experience With Omepal-20 Monotherapy
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety data described below reflects exposure to Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsules in 3096 patients from worldwide clinical trials (465 patients from US studies and 2,631 patients from international studies). Indications clinically studied in US trials included duodenal ulcer, resistant ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The international clinical trials were double blind and open-label in design. The most common adverse reactions reported (i.e., with an incidence rate ≥ 2%) from Omepal-20-treated patients enrolled in these studies included headache (6.9%), abdominal pain (5.2%), nausea (4.0%), diarrhea (3.7%), vomiting (3.2%), and flatulence (2.7%).
Additional adverse reactions that were reported with an incidence ≥ 1% included acid regurgitation (1.9%), upper respiratory infection (1.9%), constipation (1.5%), dizziness (1.5%), rash (1.5%), asthenia (1.3%), back pain (1.1%), and cough (1.1%).
The clinical trial safety profile in patients greater than 65 years of age was similar to that in patients 65 years of age or less.
The clinical trial safety profile in pediatric patients who received Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsules was similar to that in adult patients. Unique to the pediatric population, however, adverse reactions of the respiratory system were most frequently reported in both the 1 to < 2 and 2 to 16 year age groups (75.0% and 18.5%, respectively). Similarly, fever was frequently reported in the 1 to 2 year age group (33.0%), and accidental injuries were reported frequently in the 2 to 16 year age group (3.8%).
Clinical Trials Experience With Omepal-20 In Combination Therapy For H. pylori Eradication
In clinical trials using either dual therapy with Omepal-20 and clarithromycin, or triple therapy with Omepal-20, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin, no adverse reactions unique to these drug combinations were observed. Adverse reactions observed were limited to those previously reported with Omepal-20, clarithromycin, or amoxicillin alone.
Dual Therapy (Omepal-20/clarithromycin)
Adverse reactions observed in controlled clinical trials using combination therapy with Omepal-20 and clarithromycin (n = 346) that differed from those previously described for Omepal-20 alone were taste perversion (15%), tongue discoloration (2%), rhinitis (2%), pharyngitis (1%) and flu-syndrome (1%). (For more information on clarithromycin, refer to the clarithromycin prescribing information, Adverse Reactions section.)
Triple Therapy (Omepal-20/clarithromycin/amoxicillin)
The most frequent adverse reactions observed in clinical trials using combination therapy with Omepal-20, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin (n = 274) were diarrhea (14%), taste perversion (10%), and headache (7%). None of these occurred at a higher frequency than that reported by patients taking antimicrobial agents alone. (For more information on clarithromycin or amoxicillin, refer to the respective prescribing information, Adverse Reactions sections.)
Post-marketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Omepal-20 Delayed-Release Capsules. Because these reactions are voluntarily reported from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their actual frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Body As a Whole: Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, angioedema, bronchospasm, interstitial nephritis, urticaria,; fever; pain; fatigue; malaise;
Cardiovascular: Chest pain or angina, tachycardia, bradycardia, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, peripheral edema

Gastrointestinal: Pancreatitis (some fatal), anorexia, irritable colon, fecal discoloration, esophageal candidiasis, mucosal atrophy of the tongue, stomatitis, abdominal swelling, dry mouth, microscopic colitis. During treatment with Omepal-20, gastric fundic gland polyps have been noted rarely. These polyps are benign and appear to be reversible when treatment is discontinued.
Gastroduodenal carcinoids have been reported in patients with ZE syndrome on long-term treatment with Omepal-20. This finding is believed to be a manifestation of the underlying condition, which is known to be associated with such tumors.
Hepatic: Liver disease including hepatic failure (some fatal), liver necrosis (some fatal), hepatic encephalopathy hepatocellular disease, cholestatic disease, mixed hepatitis, jaundice, and elevations of liver function tests [ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin]
