COMPOSITION:
Omeprazole-20 contains an enteric coated granule formulation of Omeprazole. Omeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole derivative.

MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Omeprazole is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) 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.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to substituted benzimidazoles or to any component of the formulation.
