Omeprazole Capsules (POM)

Overview

Omeprazole Capsules (POM) are a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication used to reduce excess stomach acid. Doctors commonly prescribe them to treat acid-related conditions such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.

By controlling acid production, Omeprazole helps relieve heartburn, indigestion, and discomfort caused by acid irritation in the stomach or esophagus. It also promotes healing of ulcers and prevents their recurrence, making it one of the most trusted medicines for long-term acid management.

How It Works

Omeprazole works by blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (also known as the proton pump) in the stomach lining. This enzyme is responsible for producing gastric acid. By inhibiting it, Omeprazole significantly reduces acid secretion, thereby lowering acidity levels and allowing the stomach and esophagus to heal naturally.

This mechanism provides effective, long-lasting relief from acid-related discomfort and supports the healing of ulcerated or inflamed tissues.

Key Benefits
