Mepracid (Omeprazole)
Mepracid (Omeprazole)
Omeprazole is a medication classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Omeprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the production of acid. This helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion, and promotes healing of ulcers and irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Omeprazole is typically taken orally, usually once daily before a meal. While generally considered safe and effective for short-term use, prolonged use or misuse of omeprazole can lead to side effects such as headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and increased risk of certain nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, it's important to use omeprazole under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.
