Omeprazole is a widely prescribed medication used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid, such as heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach ulcers. As a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from symptoms like burning chest pain, acid regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. Available in capsule form, Omeprazole is effective for short-term and long-term management of acid-related disorders. It is often recommended for patients who require ongoing acid suppression to prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or discontinuing this medication.
