MECHANISM OF ACTION:Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. By acting specifically on the proton pump, Omeprazole blocks the final step in acid production, thus reducing gastric acidity.INDICATIONS:Indicated for hyperacidity and GERD (gastro-oesophagal Reflux Disease).CONTRAINDICATIONS:Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to substituted benzimidazoles or to any ingredient of the formulation.DRUG INTERACTIONS:Elimination of escitalopram and warfarin may increase if they are used concomitantly with omeprazole.
