Description
11 DESCRIPTION Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate is a combination of omeprazole, a proton-pump inhibitor, and sodium bicarbonate, an antacid. Omeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole, 5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5dimethyl-2- pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1 H -benzimidazole, a racemic mixture of two enantiomers that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its empirical formula is C 17 H 19 N 3 O 3 S, with a molecular weight of 345.42. The structural formula is: Omeprazole, USP is a white or almost white powder which melts with decomposition at about 155°C. Soluble in dichloromethane, practically insoluble in water. The stability of omeprazole is a function of pH; it is rapidly degraded in acid media but has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions. Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate is supplied as immediate-release capsules. Each capsule contains either 40 mg or 20 mg of omeprazole and 1,100 mg of sodium bicarbonate with the following excipients: croscarmellose sodium and sodium stearyl fumarate. The capsules consist of gelatin and titanium dioxide. In addition the 20 mg/1,100 mg capsule shell contains sodium lauryl sulfate and the 40 mg/1,100 mg capsule shell contains FD&C Blue 1. The capsules are printed with edible ink containing black iron oxide, butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, potassium hydroxide, shellac and strong ammonia solution. Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate capsules are immediate-release formulations that contain sodium bicarbonate which raises the gastric pH and thus protects omeprazole from acid degradation.

Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate capsules are indicated in adults for the : short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer. Most patients heal within four weeks. Some patients may require an additional four weeks of therapy. short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) of active benign gastric ulcer. treatment of heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD for up to 4 weeks. short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) of EE due to acid-mediated GERD which has been diagnosed by endoscopy in adults. The efficacy of omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate used for longer than 8 weeks in patients with EE 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 EE or GERD symptoms (e.g., heartburn), additional 4 to 8-week courses of omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate may be considered. maintenance of healing of EE due to acid-mediated GERD. Controlled studies do not extend beyond 12 months. Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate capsules are indicated in adults for: Treatment of active duodenal ulcer ( 1 ) Treatment of active benign gastric ulcer ( 1 ) Treatment of erosive esophagitis (EE) due to acid-mediated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) ( 1 ) Maintenance of healing of EE ( 1 )
Dosage and Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Indication Recommended Adult Dosage Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate capsules Active Duodenal Ulcer 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks; some patients may require an additional 4 weeks Active Benign Gastric Ulcer 40 mg once daily for 4 to 8 weeks Treatment of Symptomatic GERD 20 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks Treatment of EE due to Acid-Mediated GERD 20 mg once daily for 4 to 8 weeks an additional 4 weeks of treatment may be given if no response; if recurrence, additional 4 to 8-week courses may be considered.
