Omeprazole Drug Study Overview

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to suppress gastric acid secretion. It works by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells. Omeprazole is indicated for treating ulcers, GERD, and erosive esophagitis. Common adverse effects include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Nursing considerations include taking the drug before meals and reporting severe or worsening symptoms.
