What is Omeprazole for Peptic Ulcer Treatment about?

Omeprazole is used to treat active duodenal and gastric ulcers, ulcers associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, and ulcers caused by NSAIDs. It works by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump in the stomach to suppress acid production. Omeprazole is well absorbed but extensively metabolized, resulting in a short plasma half-life of 30 minutes to 1 hour. It has a delayed onset and prolonged duration of action of up to 72 hours. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
