Omep 20mg Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumor).
Omep 20mg Capsule contains Omeprazole, which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the stomach wall cells and is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion. Omep 20mg Capsule prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
Omeprazole is used to treat-
- Duodenal and stomach ulcers caused by NSAIDs
- In patients with a history of NSAID-related duodenal and stomach ulcers, as a preventative measure
- Acid aspiration prevention during general anesthesia
- Syndrome of Zollinger-Ellison
- A peptic ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori.
