How does Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) treat?

Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) tablets contain the active ingredient omeprazole, which is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor. Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) acts in the stomach to decrease the production of stomach acid.

Proton pumps are found on cells that line the stomach and are used by these cells to produce stomach acid. Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) works by inhibiting the action of the Proton pumps, and this reduces the production of stomach acid.

Acid is produced in the stomach as a normal part of the digestive process. However, sometimes this acid can flow back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This is called gastro-oesophageal reflux, and can cause pain and a burning sensation known as heartburn.

Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) reduces the production of stomach acid and therefore stops excess acid flowing back into the food pipe. Omeprazole (Generic Prilosec) can therefore be used to relieve heartburn symptoms associated with acid reflux.
