Doctor’s instructions should always be followed exactly when taking Losec 20mg capsules. Your doctor will tell you how many and how long to take the capsules for and this will depend on your age and condition. You should take your capsules with food or on an empty stomach and it is recommended that they be taken in the morning. The capsules should be taken with water by swallowing whole and not chewed or crushed as they contain coated pellets which stops the medicine from being broken down by the acid in your stomach.
