treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By reducing the production of stomach acid, OMEFLUX helps to relieve symptoms like heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. It also promotes the healing of acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may prevent cancer of the esophagus.
Common Uses

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Omeprazole is widely prescribed for the treatment of GERD, a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation. It helps reduce the production of stomach acid, thus alleviating these symptoms and promoting healing.
• Peptic Ulcers: This medication is effective in treating peptic ulcers, which are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus. Omeprazole helps to heal these ulcers by decreasing the acid in the stomach, giving the ulcer a better environment to heal.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Omeprazole is used to manage Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition in which one or more tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum, causing the stomach to produce excessive amounts of acid. This condition requires potent acid suppression, which omeprazole provides.
• Erosive Esophagitis: For patients with erosive esophagitis (inflammation and damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid), omeprazole helps reduce the acid, allowing the esophagus to heal and preventing further damage.
• Prevention of Ulcers Related to NSAID Use: Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can lead to the development of gastric ulcers. Omeprazole is often prescribed to prevent these ulcers in patients who need to continue NSAID therapy.
• Helicobacter pylori Infection: Omeprazole is used as part of a combination therapy to treat infections caused by Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. It works by reducing stomach acid, which helps antibiotics work more effectively against the bacteria.
