Understanding Omeprazole: Availability and Dosage
What Is Omeprazole and How Does It Work?
Omeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking the enzyme system responsible for stomach acid production, providing relief from acid reflux symptoms for up to 24 hours. This medication is particularly effective for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), heartburn, and stomach ulcers.

Long-term use requires medical supervision due to potential interactions and side effects. Always inform the prescriber about existing medications and medical conditions during your consultation.
