Description
- How Does Omeprazole Work
- During the digestion process, the stomach produces acid to help break down food substances. The oesophagus is protected from these acids by the oesophageal sphincter muscles.
- The muscles allow a one way system for food to get to the intestines while acids remain down. When the muscles weaken, acid passes down, resulting in acid reflux and causing heartburn.
- Frequent acid may be a result of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Omeprazole is a prescription medicine for GORD and other similar stomach conditions.
- It works by suppressing the activity of proton pumps, the proteins which produce acids in the stomach. This decreases the amount of acid in the stomach, relieving the symptoms of heartburn.
