the drug
In type, Omez drug belongs to the freeze-dried products, and it is available just two popular forms: in the form of capsules, in the form of a white powder.
According to the instructions medicines, one such capsule contains:
- Omeprazole, in an amount of 40 mg (basic active substance omez suppressing the secretion of gastric acid);
- Sodium hydroxide, in an amount of 5.3 mg (auxiliary neutralizing component harmful to the human body, the elements);
- Disodium edetate, in an amount of 1 mg (excipient possessing antioxidant properties).
The same composition of the components is marked and the drug in powder form. This means that the difference between the capsule and powder are both pharmacologic effects, and on the method of application, will not be observed.
Pharmacological action omez
In order to understand whether it is possible to combine Omez and alcohol, should know in advance the principle of the drug, as well as the main area of its influence. When ingested, the active ingredient omez (omeprazole) has a direct effect on the organs the human digestive tract, slowing down the activity of parietal cells responsible for secretion Gastric acid.
However activated omez active component exclusively in acidic medium (in gastric parietal cells). Therefore, the first effect of the drug after the patient can feel no sooner than 2-3 hours. Well Omez acts throughout the day, resulting in taking such medication is recommended no more than once a day.
The same applies to patients with duodenal ulcer, for which the action of the drug is limited to 17 hours, instead of 24, as a gastric ulcer. Thus suffering this pathology allowed to drink analgesics, in order to reduce the pain threshold. But at the same time categorically to take pain medication, Omez and alcohol is not recommended, as this combination of elements increases the risk of heart disease.
Possible side effects
Despite the fact that Omez have a direct impact only on the organs of the digestive tract, its side effects may well affect other vital systems of the body. Namely:
- perfusion system (with overdose or preparation of individual intolerance in a patient can occur: pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia);
- Central nervous system (Omez side effects from the drug from the CNS is very similar to the effects, occurs in humans under the influence of alcohol on his body, which is reflected in a slight dizziness and headache. So take drinks with omez not recommended in order to avoid severe exacerbations);
- Musculoskeletal (patient receiving Omez may well arise periodic muscle pain, fatigue, and joint pain);
- digestive system (as well as alcohol, Omez, in some cases, can cause the person indigestion, nausea, or even vomiting. A more serious side effects can be severe liver diseases such as hepatitis or jaundice).
As can be seen from the data above, the use omez are hypersensitive organism or drug overdose may cause serious disorders in humans in the liver. As a result, it can be concluded that the joint use of large doses of alcohol and drug omez absolutely unacceptable for a person in order to avoid serious consequences, up to a lethal outcome.
The effect of alcohol on the body
In order to understand what the consequences can cause joint reception omez and alcohol, it is necessary to examine the effect of alcoholic drinks on the human body, in particular. Also, as Omez, alcohol can affect all vital human system, With the difference that the appearance of the negative effects of alcohol intake can be observed at low doses of it.
Cardio vascular system, with the use of alcohol, a person may experience serious disruptions heart rate, and increase or decrease in blood pressure that is considered the first signal development hypertension. Of the more serious side effects arising under the influence of alcohol, you can select the appearance of coronary heart disease, in the absence of effective treatment can cause fatal outcome.
With regard to the musculoskeletal system, it also suffers greatly under the influence of alcohol, resulting in chronic fatigue patients. At the same time, regular intake of alcohol in large quantities can trigger the development of muscle dystrophy, which is a recipe for discomfort when driving.
The most devastating blow alcohol causes digestive tract, central nervous system, and human liver, causing it:
- Periodic numbness in some parts of the body;
- Frequent convulsions (especially in the lower extremities);
- The sharp decline of forces;
- All sorts of hallucinations;
- Depressive syndrome;
- Cirrhosis of the liver;
- Gastritis;
- Gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
As you can see, alcohol can provoke a person those pathologies in which the drug Omez appointed. This means that jointly host with Omez alcohol is clearly not recommended. As far as the opinions of doctors, it can be found below.
According to doctors about joint reception omez and alcohol
Most doctors unanimously declare that Omez drug, or rather its active ingredients, with it enters the patient's body does not come into contact with the contents of his stomach (including with alcohol). But it is not so. Indeed, as previously mentioned, the main omez active substance (omeprazole) is activated only in the acidic environment of the stomach. And alcohol, in turn, will make this environment more acidic, which greatly enhance the effect of the drug, provoking an overdose.
But for those who continue to stand their ground, for the fact that taking alcohol omez possible, We try to explain the negative effects of the interaction of these two components at the level of the chemical formula. Main active element Omez product - omeprazole, when joining the metabolism process activates cytochrome P450 enzyme system which is also involved in the metabolism of the elements belonging to the alcohol.
On this basis it appears that omeprazole and certain components of the composition of alcoholic beverages are able to interact,. Here the body is considered similar reaction as overdose of omeprazole, which is accompanied by a number of side effects.
At the same time, the patient may arise not only those side effects, which are set out in the instructions drug, but also any other unpleasant phenomena that are often seen in people with alcoholic poisoning.
And the most frequent negative manifestations of alcohol and omez interaction are:
- Severe nausea and profuse vomiting;
- Stomach upset;
- Allergic reaction (may manifest as rash, itching, localized redness, and even anaphylactic shock);
- Strong jitters (irritability);
- Prolonged dizziness or recurrent headaches.
The average period of duration of the above side effects ranging from a few hours to 1-2 days. In this case, even after the cessation of adverse patient events can expect long-term depression, mental disorders, and allergic reactions. So take before or after alcohol Omez or in small proportions, or in large, it is not recommended.
If alcohol has been consumed by the patient, and exacerbation of peptic ulcer pain was only some time after his admission (through 2-3 hours), then the better Omez replace other similar means, with a different composition and pharmacological action. A most simple and effective one would welcome an analgesic, since this group of drugs It has a direct effect on the cardiovascular system, virtually without affecting the digestive organs tract.
