Omeprazole is classified as a proton pump inhibitor, a type of medication that affects the stomach's acid-producing processes. In the lining of the stomach, there are proton pumps in the cells responsible for secreting acid. Omeprazole works by decreasing the uptake of ions in these stomach cells, which are essential for the production of digestive acids. As a result, Omeprazole effectively reduces the production of stomach acid.
Common side effects of omeprazole include nausea, abdominal cramps, paresthesias, dizziness, and headaches. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived.
Omeprazole is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, inhibits gastric acid secretion by blocking the ATPase H+/K+ enzyme system in gastric parietal cells. It takes about one hour for the antisecretory effect to become apparent, with peak effects at about two hours. The inhibition of secretion can last up to 72 hours, and after discontinuing the drug, secretory activity gradually recovers over 3-5 days.
The administration and dosing information for Omeprazole is as follows:

Adult Doses:

Omeprazole can interact with medications such as diazepam, warfarin, phenytoin, theophylline, propranolol, and antacids. Dose adjustments may be necessary when using omeprazole alongside these drugs.
Omeprazole is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Omeprazole has a pregnancy classification of C according to the U.S. FDA. While there is no information about its passage into breast milk or its effects on newborns, breastfeeding should be discontinued if omeprazole is deemed necessary during breastfeeding.
Before initiating omeprazole treatment for suspected gastric ulcers, it's essential to rule out the possibility of gastric malignancies. Treatment may alleviate symptoms, potentially delaying diagnosis.
Omeprazole should be stored in a dry place, away from light and heat, and kept out of the reach of children.
