Properties

Omeprazole inhibits the enzyme H + — K + _ ATPase («proton pump») in the parietal cells of the stomach and thereby blocks the final stage of the synthesis of hydrochloric acid. This leads to a decrease in the level of basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulus. After a single oral dose of the drug, the effect of omeprazole occurs within the first hour and lasts for 24 hours, the maximum effect is achieved after 2 hours. In patients with duodenal ulcer, taking 20 mg of omeprazole maintains an intragastric pH = 3 for 17 hours. the drug’s secretory activity is fully restored after 3-5 days.
