Omeprazole is formulated to address conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. Its potent acid-suppressing effect makes it a valuable treatment option for ulcers and reflux disease, where reduced gastric acid can lead to symptom relief and tissue healing. It is also employed with antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, a common cause of peptic ulcers.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By blocking the enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid, omeprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, alleviating symptoms of acid-related conditions and allowing healing of the stomach lining.
