Omez 20mg 30 capsules — Made in India — Free Delivery

Pharmachologic Effect

Antiulcer preparation. Specific proton pump inhibitor: inhibits the activity of H + -K + -ATPase in parietal cells of the stomach, blocking the final stage of hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby reducing the production of hydrochloric acid.

Omeprazole is a prodrug and is activated in the acidic environment of the secretory tubules of the parietal cells of the stomach.

The effect is dose-dependent and provides effective inhibition of both basal and stimulated acid secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulating factor.

The antisecretory effect after taking 20 mg occurs within the first hour, maximum - after 2 hours. Inhibition of 50% of the maximum secretion lasts 24 hours.

A single dose per day provides a quick and effective suppression of daytime and nocturnal gastric secretion, reaching its maximum after 4 days of treatment and disappearing by the end of 3-4 days after the end of the intake. In patients with duodenal ulcer, taking 20 mg of omeprazole maintains an intragastric pH above 3 for 17 hours.
