⚪️👀New Look, Same Medicine. Due to a change in branding you will notice your Omeprazole capsules have changed in size and shape. The 20mg capsules are now Blue and White, and soon the 10mg and 40mg will be a different colour too.

The capsule colour, brand name, and packaging for omeprazole capsules are changing. They are still made by the same company and the formulation remains the same.
