Omeprazole: Proton Pump Inhibitor
Omeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole that irreversibly inhibits the hydrogen-potassium ATPase (H⁺/K⁺ ATPase) enzyme system — the gastric proton pump — in parietal cells. By blocking the final step of acid production, omeprazole provides potent and long-lasting suppression of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. It was the first proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reach the market and remains one of the most prescribed drugs globally.

It is a key component of triple and quadruple therapy regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication. Formulated as enteric-coated tablets, capsules, and MUPS (multiple-unit pellet system) tablets to protect the acid-labile compound from degradation in the stomach. An intravenous formulation is available for patients unable to take oral medication. Omeprazole is also widely used in veterinary medicine for equine gastric ulcer syndrome.
