What is Omeprazole used for?

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that acts on the gastric acid secretion pathway. It is indicated for several acid‑related disorders: - Gastro‑esophageal reflux disease (GERD): provides relief of heartburn and promotes healing of erosive esophagitis. - Peptic ulcer disease: supports ulcer healing and reduces recurrence risk. - Zollinger‑Ellison syndrome: controls excessive gastric acid secretion. - Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens: used as part of combination therapy to improve eradication rates. - NSAID‑associated ulcer prevention: lowers risk of ulcer development in chronic NSAID users.
