Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby providing relief from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and other acid-related conditions. It is commonly prescribed to improve symptoms and promote healing of erosive esophagitis and is administered orally in capsule or tablet form, with dosage and duration depending on the specific medical condition it is treating.
