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‑oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): provides symptomatic relief and promotes healing of the oesophageal lining. - Peptic ulcer disease: supports ulcer healing by maintaining a low‑acid environment. - Zollinger‑Ellison syndrome: controls excessive gastric acid production associated with this rare endocrine disorder. - Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens (as part of combination therapy): enhances eradication rates by reducing gastric acidity. - Erosive esophagitis: facilitates mucosal healing and reduces further injury.
