Dosage & Administration
For patients for whom the oral form of the drug is unacceptable, it is recommended to use omeprazole 40 mg once daily intravenously. For patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the recommended starting dose of intravenous drug is
60 mg per day. There may be a need for higher daily doses, so the dose should be selected individually. If the dose exceeds 60 mg per day, it should be divided equally into 2 parts and taken 2 times a day.
The drug should only be administered intravenously and can not be administered by any other route.
The solution should be used immediately after cooking, but not later than after 3 hours. The diluted solution of omeprazole can not be stored in the refrigerator. The unused solution should be destroyed.
