Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. They work by reducing theamount of acid that your stomach produces.
Omeprazole is used to treat the following conditions:
In adults:

- Ulcers in the upper part of the intestine or stomach.
- Ulcers which are infected with bacteria called ‘Helicobacter pylori’.
- Ulcers caused by medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Omeprazole can also be used to stop ulcers from forming if you are taking NSAIDs.
- Too much acid in the stomach caused by a growth in the pancreas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
In children:
- Children over 1 year of age and ≥ 10 kg
- ‘Gastro-esophageal reflux disease’ (GERD). In children, the symptoms of the condition can include the return of stomach contents into the mouth, vomiting and poor weight gain.
