About Omeprazole
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It works by reducing stomach acid production, alleviating symptoms associated with excess acid. Omeprazole is clinically significant for managing acid-related disorders and promoting healing of the gastrointestinal tract. In summary, omeprazole is essential for controlling gastric acidity and preventing complications.
How It Works
Omeprazole irreversibly inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells, leading to decreased gastric acid secretion.
