What does it do?

Omeprazole enteric-coated granules belong to the class of proton pump inhibitors and are used to suppress excessive gastric acid secretion. They are primarily used for the treatment of peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Omeprazole blocks the proton pump in the gastric wall cells, reducing the secretion of gastric acid. This decreases mucosal damage caused by gastric acid and promotes ulcer healing.

Good to know

Omeprazole enteric-coated granules are coated to prevent degradation by gastric acid, allowing for absorption in the small intestine after passing through the stomach. This is an important characteristic for reliably exerting the acid suppression effect.
