Introduction About OMECER KIT

OMECER KIT is a combination of Amoxicillin, Omeprazole, and Tinidazole which
belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-Helicobacter pylori drugs. It is
used to manage infections caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which
is often found in the stomach of the affected individual. Infected patients are
initially asymptomatic, with inflammation and ulceration developing later,
causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and upset stomach.

During the course of the management, your doctor might regularly monitor your
condition to avoid any untoward side effects. OMECER KIT is not recommended for
children younger than 1 year or weighing less than 10 kgs. Before taking OMECER
KIT, inform your doctor if you have any blood disease, liver, kidney, or skin
problems, fever, sore throat, swollen glands, or extreme tiredness.

OMECER KIT is generally not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding
women, unless advised by your doctor. The most common side effects of taking
OMECER KIT are decreased appetite, headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain,
skin rash, etc. Contact your doctor if any of the above side effects worsen.

the bacterial DNA and causes cell death.
