Omez 10mg

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication widely used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions. By irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system (H+/K+ ATPase) in the gastric parietal cells, omeprazole inhibits the secretion of gastric acid, thereby providing relief from conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis. One of its primary benefits is its ability to alleviate symptoms associated with excessive gastric acid production, including heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion. Additionally, omeprazole is prescribed as part of Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens, where it helps suppress acid secretion, allowing antibiotics to effectively target the bacteria and treat associated peptic ulcers.
