Omeprazole Capsules 20mg №10

Packaging

10 pieces.

Mechanism of action

H inhibitor⁺-K⁺-ATP-ase. Inhibits the activity of H⁺-K⁺-ATP-ase in the parietal cells of the stomach and thereby blocks the final stage of the secretion of hydrochloric acid. This leads to a decrease in basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulus. As a consequence of the decrease in acid secretion, the drug reduces or normalizes the effect of acid on the esophagus in patients with reflux esophagitis.
Omeprazole has a bactericidal effect on Helicobacter pylori. Eradication of H. pylori with simultaneous use of Omeprazole and antibiotics allows you to quickly arrest the symptoms of the disease, achieve a high degree of healing of the damaged mucous and persistent long-term remission and reduce the likelihood of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.

Peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer in the acute phase (including associated with Helicobacter pylori), reflux esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, erosive-ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum, associated with the intake of NSAIDs.
