Used For:

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, Omeprazole effectively reduces the production of gastric acid, helping to relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach pain.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. Some individuals may experience dizziness or flatulence. Rare but serious side effects can include kidney problems, low magnesium levels, and an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection in the colon.

Precautions:

Omeprazole should be used with caution in individuals with liver disease, as dose adjustments may be necessary. Long-term use of PPIs may lead to an increased risk of bone fractures, kidney disease, and certain infections. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications being taken, as Omeprazole can interact with drugs such as warfarin, clopidogrel, and certain antifungals. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Omeprazole. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, medical attention should be sought
