Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion in the stomach lining, omeprazole helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, promotes healing of ulcers, and prevents acid-related damage to the esophagus and stomach. It is available in capsule, tablet, and powder forms for oral or intravenous use.
