About this item

Othera 20mg Tablet is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid and provide relief from conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and acid-related indigestion. It works by suppressing acid secretion in the stomach, helping to ease symptoms like heartburn, nausea, and abdominal discomfort while supporting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining. This medicine is suitable for adults and children over 1 year who require effective acid control under medical supervision. Othera 20 is usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, about an hour before meals, and should be swallowed whole. Regular use as prescribed by a doctor helps maintain digestive comfort and prevent recurrence of acid-related disorders.

Medicine overview

Othera 20 Tablet is a medicine which reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used to treat heartburn, acid reflux and problems in your food pipe. It is also used to prevent and treat stomach ulcers. You should take Othera 20 Tablet as your doctor advises. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but it should be the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time needed to treat your condition. Normally it should be swallowed whole about an hour before a meal and at the same time each day. It may take up to a few weeks to work properly but your doctor will tell you how long you need to be taking it for. You should keep on taking it as prescribed even if your symptoms disappear quickly. If you are taking this medicine for a long time, your doctor may carry out regular tests to check your levels of magnesium which can fall with this medicine. Common side effects include headache, constipation or diarrhoea, stomach pain and feeling or being sick. These tend to be mild but talk to your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. The risk of side effects may increase the longer you take this medicine. Serious side effects are rare, but some need immediate medical attention. Ask your doctor what these are. You may be more likely to have a broken bone if you take it for a long time. It is best to avoid foods that seem to make your symptoms worse, such as rich, spicy and fatty foods. It also helps to cut down on caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee and cola, as well as alcohol. Othera 20 Tablet is not suitable for some people. Before taking this medicine, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past or have osteoporosis. Alcohol does not interfere with the way Othera 20 Tablet works. However, drinking alcohol makes your stomach produce more acid than normal.
