How Omeprazole Capsules WorkOmeprazole acts by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system of the gastric parietal cells, thereby significantly reducing stomach acid production. This action helps alleviate symptoms and promotes healing in conditions linked to excessive gastric acidity, such as ulcers and reflux. Regular use as prescribed can provide considerable relief and prevent further complications.
