Losec MUPS is a commonly prescribed medication for acid reflux. The medication works by reducing the amount of stomach acid produced by the body, helping to prevent any acid from refluxing out of the stomach. Losec tablets are also used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).

Losec MUPS contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, which is part of a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPI). Losec MUPs work by blocking enzymes called ‘proton pumps’ responsible for creating stomach acid.

FAQ

    Losec MUPS are gastro resistant tablets that are safe to take and are commonly prescribed by pharmacists and doctors to treat acid reflux symptoms.
