How it Works?
Omezoren 20 Capsule contains omeprazole (20 mg), which functions as follows:
• Proton Pump Inhibition: Omeprazole blocks specific enzymes, known as proton pumps, situated in the gastric parietal cells. These enzymes are responsible for the final step in gastric acid secretion.
• Reduction in Gastric Acidity: By binding to proton pumps, omeprazole effectively inhibits the secretion of hydrochloric acid into the gastric lumen. This action reduces stomach acidity, alleviating symptoms associated with acid-related conditions.

Nursing mothers should discontinue breastfeeding if taking this medicine.
