What is Omeprazole?
Active Ingredients: Omeprazole
Omeprazole Capsules are a drug used to lower stomach acid production. It's indicated for the treatment of stomach and esophagus conditions, like acid reflux disease and esophagitis. It relieves the symptoms, like heartburn, coughing, and swallowing problems, that are associated with these conditions.
Omeprazole is used to help prevent and heal gastric ulcers. This medication is also used together with antibiotics to treat gastric ulcers caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It may also be prescribed to help prevent esophageal cancer.
Omeprazole is classified as a proton pump inhibitor. The active ingredient works by inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase system, therefore blocking acid from being secreted into the stomach. Proton pump inhibitors typically take up to 4 days to reach full efficiency.
