Omeprazole is used to treat cases of excessive amounts of acid in the stomach. It inhibits the action of a specific enzymatic device located within the gastric cells that produce acid, thereby preventing the production of acid. Omeprazole is used to treat heartburn, gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis, gastric ulcer, peptic ulcer, and other cases characterized by secretion (Such as the Zollinger Ellison Syndrome). Omeprazole is sometimes used temporarily as part of a combination therapy to eliminate the Helicobacter pylori (a type of bacteria in the stomach).
Omeprazole is generally highly complementary.
