About

Omeprazole is a widely prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that profoundly reduces gastric acid secretion. Its mechanism of action involves an irreversible blockade of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, commonly known as the proton pump, located in the secretory canaliculi of gastric parietal cells. By inhibiting this crucial enzyme, omeprazole effectively prevents the final step of acid production, leading to a significant and prolonged reduction in both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. This potent acid-suppressing effect makes it highly effective in treating a range of conditions caused by excessive stomach acid, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and peptic ulcers. It promotes healing of esophageal erosions and ulcers, alleviates symptoms like heartburn, and is also used in the management of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, significantly improving patient quality of life.
