Description:
Omeprazole 20mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly used for the treatment of acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other acid-related disorders. By inhibiting the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme system in the stomach lining, Omeprazole provides long-lasting relief from heartburn and promotes ulcer healing. It is usually administered before meals for optimal acid suppression.
