Hello, Princess! How are you? I'm very glad that this medication has helped you.

Altosec is listed as containing the active ingredient Omeprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor, it helps reduce the amount of acid produced by your stomach.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
