Description
Overview of the medicine
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
GERD: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. Duodenal Ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Gastric Ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Initial 60 mg once daily.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment usually required, but caution advised due to potential decreased metabolism.

How to Take
Take orally, preferably in the morning before a meal. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew or crush.
Mechanism of Action
Irreversibly binds to and inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells, blocking the final step of acid secretion.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 1 hour
Excretion
Mainly via urine (approx. 80%) and feces (approx. 20%).
Half life
0.5-1 hour (increases with liver impairment)
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed from the GI tract after oral administration. Bioavailability approx. 30-40%.
Metabolism
Extensively metabolized in the liver via CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.

- Concomitant use with nelfinavir.
Drug Interactions
Diazepam
Increased plasma levels of diazepam.
Warfarin
Increased INR/bleeding risk.
Clopidogrel
Omeprazole can reduce the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel by inhibiting its activation.
Methotrexate
Increased plasma levels of methotrexate, especially with high doses.
Nelfinavir/Atazanavir
Reduced plasma levels of antiretrovirals, potentially leading to loss of virologic response.
