ETIPRO 20MG CAP 24S

Omeprazole 20mg capsules work by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach's parietal cells, which is responsible for the production of gastric acid. It specifically targets the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, also known as the gastric proton pump, which is the final step in gastric acid secretion. By binding to this pump, omeprazole blocks the transport of protons into the stomach, resulting in a significant reduction of gastric acid secretion. This mechanism effectively suppresses the production of stomach acid, providing relief from conditions related to excessive acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers.
