Description

Omeprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory compounds, which suppress gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+ /K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. Because this enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the gastric mucosa, omeprazole has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, in that it blocks the final step of acid production. This effect is dose-related and leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus. Omeprazole is used under brand names Prilosec and Losec for treatment of duodenal ulcer in adults, gastric ulcer in adults, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. In addition it used for maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis in pediatric patients and adults and for treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions in adults (eg, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomas and systemic mastocytosis). The most frequent significant adverse effects occurring in at least of patients include headache; upper respiratory tract infection, abdominal pain, diarrhea, back pain, weakness and rash.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Active Duodenal Ulcer: 20 mg Once daily for 4 weeks. Some patients may require an addition 4 weeks. Gastric Ulcer: oral dose is 40 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: The recommended adult oral dose for the treatment of patients with symptomatic GERD and no esophageal lesions is 20 mg daily for up to 4 weeks. The recommended adult oral dose for the treatment of patients with erosive esophagitis and accompanying symptoms due to GERD is 20 mg daily for 4 to 8 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Pretreatment of omeprazole (10-6 - 10-4M) dose-dependently inhibits neutrophil adherence and respiratory burst induced by H. pylori. These evidences imply that omeprazole may exhibit a beneficial effect on H. pylori-associated gastric mucosal damage caused by activated neutrophils.
