About Omeprazole/Losec
Omeprazole tablets are a trusted option for managing chronic stomach issues such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. By significantly reducing stomach acid production, these capsules offer relief from symptoms for up to 72 hours. For optimal effectiveness, it’s recommended to take omeprazole daily, with noticeable improvements typically occurring within one hour of ingestion.
Stomach acid plays a crucial role in digestion by breaking down food before it moves into the intestines. Normally, the oesophageal sphincter—a ring of muscle at the base of the oesophagus—prevents acid from escaping the stomach. If this sphincter weakens, acid can flow back into the oesophagus, resulting in heartburn and discomfort. This issue is often a symptom of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Omeprazole functions by inhibiting proton pumps—specific proteins responsible for the production of stomach acid. This reduction in acid output helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. The effects of omeprazole can persist for up to 72 hours, with acid levels generally normalizing within three to five days after stopping the medication.

Losec (Omeprazole) contains the active ingredient omeprazole, which belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These medications work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Omeprazole is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers that reduces gastric acid secretion through a highly selective mechanism. As a specific proton pump inhibitor, it acts rapidly to control acid production with just one daily dose. Omeprazole, being a weak base, concentrates in the acidic environment of the parietal cell's intracellular canaliculi. It inhibits the enzyme H⁺/K⁺-ATPase, also known as the proton pump, thereby blocking both basal and stimulated acid secretion, which provides relief from stomach acid issues.
Losec (Omeprazole) is used to treat several conditions, including:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Where stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing pain, inflammation, and a burning sensation.
- Duodenal ulcers: Ulcers located in the upper part of the small intestine.
- Gastric ulcers: Ulcers found in the stomach.
- Helicobacter pylori infections: When ulcers are caused by this bacterium.
Always use Losec (Omeprazole) exactly as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. Below are general dosing guidelines for adults:
GERD Symptoms:
- Mild esophageal damage:20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. If needed, increase to 40 mg daily for an additional 8 weeks.
