Unilab brand launches drug for tummy health

MANILA, Philippines - Unilab, the Philippines’ largest local pharmaceutical company, has just what you need to aid digestive health and keep you going for your personal and professional goals: Omepron (generic name Omeprazole), a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. Typified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), this medicine that comes in a hard gelatin capsule reduces gastric acid secretion in gastric parietal cells. PPIs are the most potent drug for acid-related disorders, providing longer relief than any other drugs such as antacids. It works by controlling gastric-acid secretion and the symptoms of acid-related gastro-intestinal disorders. The result is optimum control in acid suppression, trusted by doctors and users.

Omepron is now available to on-the-go Pinoys who are hassled by recurring hyperacidity through its over-the-counter 20mg format. Omepron 20mg capsule is the market leader for low-dose PPI, most prescribed brand of PPI and the market leader for its segment.

“We, at Unilab, continue to build our legacy on being the most accessible health and wellness company to the Filipinos. Our ever-growing portfolio of pharmaceutical products is just one of the company’s many testaments to its commitment to making every Filipino healthy,” shares Renato T. Castañeda, Westmont general manager and division vice president. “Developing an OTC format for Omepron is one of the specific actions we have taken in advocating total digestive health. We understand how hyperacidity debilitates one’s lifestyle and we don’t want our consumers to experience this over and over again. So we decided to make our leading PPI brand accessible to consumers through its 20mg format.”

Omepron 20mg is available for only P44/capsule through leading drugstores nationwide. You can also ask your doctor about it.
