Omeprazole-Fpo

Omeprazole A drug that reduces the secretion of gastric glands. Broad-spectrum antisecretory drug. Blocks both H+ and K+ secretion at the level of end cells (parietal cells of the stomach and main cells of the liver). Deactivates H++K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). Unlike other proton pump inhibitors, it also blocks basal secretion. Application: Peptic ulcer (long-term treatment); peptic ulcer associated with Helicobacter pylori, relapse prevention; reflux esophagitis; heartburn
