Description

Active Ingredient

Omeprazole is an active component that belongs to a class of drugs called selective and irreversible proton pump inhibition. This active ingredient obtained a stable disulfide bond with the sulfhydryl group of the hydrogen-potassium ATPase found on the secretory surface of parietal cells, to inhibit the final transport of hydrogen ions into the gastric lumen and suppress gastric acid secretion. This ingredient exhibits no anticholinergic activities and does not antagonize histamine H2 receptors. This drug is a proton pump inhibitor and potent inhibitor of gastric acidity used to treat gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer disease.
